Nice pictures! The Phaeton has a timeless design, both inside and outside, I don't think it is showing its age yet... I really like the tail lights, which look more advanced than any of its competitors (except maybe for the BMW 7er, which also has nice CELIS LEDs).
Somehow, VW gives you the feeling that the Phaeton is more special than a BMW 7er, Mercedes S or Audi A8; by building this special assembly line (very clean, wooden floors, a lot of glass, employees wearing clean suits), it almost appears as if every Phaeton is custom-built, although I suppose the production method doesn't differ from other factories (of competitors)?
