Volkswagon Phaeton

Would you pay $96,000 US for this? Its a 12 cylinder, 420 HP regular looking car! If I was gonna spend that kind of money I'd buy a Hummer. What's your views?

Re: Volkswagon Phaeton

No sah. It is not all that hot IMO. Buy a hummer instead as much as I don't like them.

Re: Volkswagon Phaeton

Dunno why VW made the Phaeton.

They own Audi who have the A8 and the Pheaton in the UK drops to about half price only a year after you drive it off the forecourt new!

Notwithstanding the fact that Mercedes and BMW must be laughing up their sleeves...

More money than sense.

Re: Volkswagon Phaeton

In Italy that version costs € 116.000!!

Could you pay this price for a car that's just a bigger VW Passat???

That' s the reason why in Europe it has been a great flop!

Re: Volkswagon Phaeton

People are saying that VW is messing up their marketing. They're making their cars too upscale which makes no sense--since Audi is supposed to cover that market. VW used to appeal more to younger crowd and I read that they are losing that. Why would a company compete with itself?

They only make a few thousand A8s each year--and even less of the VW "big car." Why bother? I drove VWs for years, and I love them... but I wouldn't buy that one.
