the S8 is £9k cheaper - could be one reason - but I'm with you on that one too - the W12 would have to be tempting

I don't see any point in S8 when you can get A8 W12.
W12 is faster in the straight line (same bhp but more torque), it has better style, and more then that - it's more comfortable then S8.
Imho S8 is a bit stupid when there is W12 available.

There is standart wheel base version availble as well, and by the way it's cheeper then lwb... The price is almost the same (S8 and A8 W12 SWB).

But that's my opinion, I've recently tried both of them, and W12 feels more solid and serious both inside and outside. It's a metter of taste, but you should try both before buy! 2014 Mercedes-Benz S500
