I first drove an A8 in 1997 and I fell in love. I drove an A8L (4.2L, not W12) last year, and was not as impressed. It's soft and the styling is not as nice in person as it is in the posted pictures. The extra length added to the rear doors makes it look sort of awkward...it doesn't flow as smoothly as the standard-wheelbase model.
The S8, on the other hand, is one of the most spectacular sedans I've ever driven (it ranks in the top two or three).
