I doubt the A8 would beat out the LS in too many catagories.
One place would be speed. Coming from an S8, I miss the acceleration.
And coming from an S8, I appreciate that my LS starts every time.

When it comes to long term ownership no doubt the Lexus will hold the lead.

I read a thread on the Audi forum and someone did a road noise comparison and the LS is one of the loudest of all the flagships. Doesn't bother me, I don't need the quietest car. I also read the A8 has the softest ride out of all the flagships. Some people call it too floaty.

I traded a 2016 A8 Sport (450 hp) for the 2019 LS 500. A fair comparison would be to compare it to the 2019 A8, so my comments hold little value. However I would feel comfortable saying the Lexus attention to little details in the technology would be tough to beat. I would also say the my A8 was a teutonic sledge hammer, a real beast. HOWEVER, I live on Long Island NY and I am often in traffic. The LS 500 has a true messaging seat, including the panel under your butt which was a seller for me. Additionally, I had little opportunity to really "drive" the A8. It was also nice to have a change. My LS was fully loaded and is a pleasure to drive.

C&D has ranked the new A8 as one of the if not the quietest car on the road. This is better than the S class which used to hold the title. Also with the predictive suspension new A8 has got the ride covered. There was a discussion on this forum where I read about the A8 on comfort.
When it comes to long term ownership no doubt the Lexus will hold the lead.

The Lexus LS seems like the most compelling package of the 3 as a whole.
