VW Phaeton

Have you guys seen this? I saw one on the road about 3 weeks ago, i thought it was some weird imported VW, it was all covered with salt and dirt. Its a nice looking car from VW, something a little different than the generic boxes they've been putting out. Plus it has an awesome name, sounds StarTrekish

dude, the name "phaeton" has been around a lot longer than Star Trek.....it's actually a tip o' the hat to the early "golden age" of the automobile in fact...

VW's is a cool enough car, but upscale...they're tryin' to take on Merc...

W12 engine's pretty cool tho'!...

The new Phaeton is soooo expensive, the v10 starts at 60,000, and the v12 starts at 83,000. My goodness, thats a bit much to pay for a VW.

I saw a silver W12 Phaeton in Niagara Falls (Canadian Side) with manufacture plates on it around the end of November. It looks nice but I can't see myself putting down close if not over $80K for a VW.
