BTW, in case any of you are actually debating between the two, the A8/S8 is Alluminum, while the Phaeton is steel. That is why the Phaeton is considerably heavier than the (already too heavy) A8 when compared with similar engines and equipment. However, I'll have to agree, I like the style of the Phaeton better, especially the interior. Having driven both, I like the A8's driving experience better, although it's splitting hairs for my likes. I don't like big cars nearly as much as I like small, light, nimble cars.
