Both Models are new, Touareg coming out just before last summer and Phaeton being released to the public this past December. The 12 cylinder Pheaton has had many problems, the dealership I worked for had to buy back 2 and find 2 other new ones for those customers. Same with the Touareg, I sold a brand new V8 Touareg to some doctor, we had it back in like 4 or 5 months, another buy back. Once they get all the kinks out of these new models, they'll be some of the best cars on the road. The Touareg V8 is the nicest and quickest SUV's out, and it handles like a sports car. It's comfortable as hell, take a test drive and you'll fall in love with it. I don't work for VW so I could care less what you do, but take it from me. Any yes, parts and service are very expensive once the car is out of warranty, spend the extra $1500 and get the extended warranty up to 100K miles, it'll be way worth it in the long run...HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
I noticed that people who had a lot of problems with VW's didn't really take car of them, they beat them to death, didn't change the oil, and when there was a problem they'd bring it to the dealership and say the car was a piece of shit...we can always tell who didn't take care of their car, it's obvious!!!

The Phaeton is a good attempt at the luxury sedan market. Too expensive for me though and I think i would just go with the A8 instead. THe Touareg is an extremely well done first SUV. It has real off road ability and can tow a good bit of weight due to it's air suspension. If I were to be looking for an SUV the Touareg would be very high on the list. No I don't own a VW but I have and it was a good car. Fun to drive.

Are there any German-made Golfs sold in North America? I thought they ALL came from Mexico for this market. "Wolfsburg Edition" is just an end-of-model-year Special Edition they always come up with, with a few trim and option upgrades, it doesn't mean they were made there.
