As a luxury car – as a machine for going quickly and comfortably in sepulchral silence – the Phaeton is better than any of its rivals from Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Maserati.

Still crazy about this car. I'm starting to see a lot of 04' models show up on lease returns now.

Let's just say I know what he's talking about.

It really is a fantastic car. You've gotta try it long term to appreciate it...

It is a good car but i'd never take it over S,7 or A8 and not coz of the badge,the other cars just makes alot more sense to me.

If you think the other cars make more sense, isn't it, more of less, because of the VW badge? A lot of automotive journalists also say the car makes no sense, but can't really explain why, other than the fact that it is a luxury VW. I just don't see why else a superbly-engineered large car that is arguably better than the other competitors is not as sensible as those fellow competitors.
