Default Saw a VW Phaeton in traffic today

In a word... "okay."

Why anyone would pay like $80K for a VW that looks like an A8 is beyond me. I'll go for the 7 series Bimmer.

Yeah..I wasn't impressed with the W12 or whatever it was either. We had a VW tournament here at the TPC and they had 2 parked on the course. Our Loss Prevention Director actually owns one along with an entire garage of high dollar VW cars.

So if you're in the Woodlands, look for a silver R32. He's suppose to be really fast and handles quite well.

The Phaeton is what the Passat should have been. The A8 is much better looking car IMOHO.... In that price range though I wouldn't touch the 7 until they do something about the styling. Now an E55......

you should have rolled down your window and said 'nice Jetta, is that the new model?'
That car need some more bling on the outside to justify 80+K
