The New VW
« on: January 14, 2004, 05:29:13 PM »
I never thought in my life i would want to own a VW but after seeing this bad boy i might just consider it
it looks like the want to give the BMW 7 series a little competition
standard 335 hp v8
optional 420 hp v12







what do you guys think?

I don\'t understand why this model is necessary.  VW is the same company as Audi, right?  If they want to sell a luxury sedan, why don\'t they focus on selling Audis instead?  What\'s the benefit in developing a VW Phaeton so they can compete with themselves?  Note: When you go to VW\'s website and use the "compare" tool, it doesn\'t let you compare the Phaeton to any Audi models; only to BMW, Lexus, Jaguar, and MB.

Also $79,000 is too much for a VW.  People who spend that much care about the badge as much or more than the features.  I don\'t get it.

Hehe, i\'m sure that an Audi version is not too far behind.  Let\'s think about it, they could market it for over $100,000 and give it a spruced up "audi" appeal.

I believe Audi is seperate from VW (although they have the same monthercompany ... or something). There\'s Audi + Lamborghini + SEAT + maybe someone else and VW + Bugatti + Bentley + maybe someone else.

VW/Audi ALWAYS charges too much for what you get in the sedan department.  How many A6\'s do you see on the road compared to Infinitis, Lexus\'s, Mercedes and 540i\'s?  You\' have to be crazy to spend that much bread on an Audi, much less a the same frame with a VW badge.

VW acquired Audi in 1965, and one of the lead VW guys, Ferdinand Porsche, left and started his own company that designed exotic sports cars.  I forget the name of it though.

Audi\'s are very nice though. Not sure what it costs compared to BMW in the States... but if it\'s cheaper then it\'s not a bad deal. If it\'s more expensive, I\'d prolly just buy a BMW.
