Yeah its sad b/c the Phaeton is quite and outstanding luxury car but the badge kills it.
VW is still hellbent in going upmarket. They just hired a bunch of old Audi staff to join VW to help them push upmarket.

I don't think we will get the 2nd gen of this car in America.

 

VW is going to be around in 2011?

 

I wish VW the best of luck, again.

 

What would make you say that?

Only thing that comes to my mind is Porsche, but I don't see Porsche axing VW.

 

Because I was joking?

 

Shoulda used smilies for your first post I knew you're joking without the smilies though . . .

 

The Phaeton sells decently in Europe, but had horrible sales in North America, because there is no market for it here. Similarly if Toyota sold it's Century here in North America, there would be no market for it.

 

usually if someone joking on the net ... usually have muahahah after or


its not like poker that if u see someone having a straight face during a bluff you have to think whats going on inside his mind

 

I might have lost my temper and taken a razor blade to the side of his car car and maybe taken off half of the police decal.

 

Um, you also might have replied to the wrong thread. Try here instead: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=263846.

 

LOL whoops....

 

Excellent analogy right there. Because thats what VW needs to realize. Fall back and let your luxury division prosper on its own instead of cutting into it's target audience. Mind you I actually liked the Phaeton. I'm just not paying 80K on something that oozes "I eat baloney sandwiches". If I'm dropping 80K on anything, call me shallow, but I want you to know it. You should smell the rich dammit!!

 

What a conservative design - I mean by the time it hits our shores 4 years from now its gonna look reallyy dated..! Bleh

 

the few replies above are so randomly funny
lol

btw is Phaeton better than A8L technology wise?
if so then why not switch the 2 models technology wise

 

sorry, it sells terribly in Europe as well. S class outsold it 5:1 in Germany, and A8/7 series outsold in 2.5 to 1, despite Phaeton being much cheaper vehicle...

I doubt they sell more than 10,000 per year, around the world.
