Please you are just as much as the "misinformed public" as you accuse people of being. If someone is wrong, you can politely correct them and even add a link if you can to back it up.
Trexus, the Phaeton actually shares its platform with Bentley. Its built in a custom factory we all could eat off the floor of.

"I say the internet is funny b/c for nearly a decade I have watched people love to recommend cars THEY WON'T BUY WITH THEIR OWN MONEY."
Well said, I've been trying to communicate this message for weeks.
Thank God, the leading premium car makers actually listen to owners that actually have a consistent history of owning this type of car.

If Hyundai can bring over a $60K luxury car, VW is welcome to try again. Only thing is, VW now owns Audi, Porsche, etc. and thus has its own luxury channels. But perhaps the Passat CC is an indication of an upscale path.

With the Porsche CEO, the guy with common sense, kicked out, VW can continue to do whatever they want, even if it makes little sense. Except to see more fighting and cars in the same segments between brands and even more sharing.

Although it wasn't my original statement, IMO I see it as completely relevant statement when it comes to internet chatter, not just here on CHIT CHAT. Most of the cars mentioned here do not require the financial status of Jay Leno fortunately.

Mike my comment was not a slight at all to anyone who cannot afford the car, it was quite the OPPOSITE. My point is people that CAN afford the car tell people to buy basically an "off brand" not the usual status quo. However when the times comes, they BUY the status-quo, not the off-brand. Its rare to see a bunch of people who claim "oh image doesn't matter, I don't care" to actually buy those cars where image doesn't matter. Otherwise we all would be posting on Phaeton and RL forum.

That may not be the case, this time, if more people actually GO look at it. However, even at a bargain 90K for a W12 version, that's still more than a lot of people would want to (or could afford to) spend. The Phaeton is a bargain ONLY in comparison to its 120K-150K Mercedes and BMW competitors.
