I have seen a few of them, here in Belgium. We encoutered one during a visit at the Nurburgring 2 years ago, I geuss that the car had just been launched then. It was a W12, I have a few pictures of it :wink:

It is a superb car, the quality, the comfort ... an example: the airco-system that comes with it is just superb, best of the best. But indeed it is far from a best seller. Last week there appeared an article in the newspaper about the phaeton, the whole concept around it. It is just a disaster for VW, it costs VW a shit load of money. But, they probably do it for the prestige in the first place. Piech (ex-director/ manager with VW) once said that they want to have the answer when another make builds a high class car. This car is overkill to the S-class, but what now hey ??!!

I think it is true by saying that 90 - 95% of the people who can afford themselves a car out of this range will probably buy the Audi A8 or the S-class.

I would definitely choose the A8 > Lord Of The Rings :)


Thanks for the link man, cool test !!!

Cheers

THX.

If they took the Paheton and put it under Mercds skin, it would be much more popular. This VW is a fantastic machine, just got the wrong badge.

TV Program.

I already had this clip but it was fun to watch it again.

I just saw a Phaeton for the 1st time yesterday in the Best Buy (electronics Store) parking lot. It did look pretty nice from the outside and when I looked through the window at the interrior I was amazed. It looked like one of the most upscale interriors that I've ever seen, ....Very Nice car.

did you guys notice how much work the 7 series suspension was doing on the ride test? that thing was working its ass off, yet the body just kinda stayed in line. Great egineering right there, thats why i would choose the 7 Series. Also is it me or does the Audi steering wheel, and shifter look cheap?
