Default A8 v S-class: Sunday Times review

Pity that most of the A8 review is about the poor command centre in the S-class.....<ul><li><a href="http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,2060-20550-1984109-20550,00.html">http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,2060-20550-1984109-20550,00.html</a</li></ul>

why? the S550 will probably be closer in price to the W12 than the 4.2

They forgot to mention, that the MB's 7 speed transmission is PERFECT.

Default Closer? I think the MB is about 95 out the door...
..the comparo to an A8L 4.2 might be less favorable to our vehicles, but might be more appropriate.
