VW Phaeton

[7figureman]

Check out this Volkswagen. www.vwvortex.com/news/03_02/03_04/index.shtml This may be my next automotive purchase. This vehicle is bad ass. Of course I will get the V12 version.

Wow.

A Vw that doesnt look that girly.

The car is nice.

But the rims arent that great.

 

[fogg88]

Awesome! They're going to offer a V-10 turbodiesel, that puts out 553 ft-lbs of torque at 2000rpm. I can just see these little VW's pulling boats and horse trailers!

 

[7figureman]

Fogg88, the torque on the V-10 turbodiesel is wicked. This car will blow away comparable mercedes and BMW's. It also seems like VW is trying to upstage Audi.

 

[fogg88]

Have you heard yet what the price will be on this car? I think that I had heard of VW doing an over-$100K car, but maybe that was a supercar rather than a luxury car? ...regardless, I'd love to get into one of these Phaetons.

I drove the new Audi A8 W12 last spring here at work (same engine) and it rocks.

I´m waiting for the Phaeton to show up so I can testdrive it too

I guess this is the 50+k car that VW wanted to put out to compete with Mercedes and Lexus.

Seeing as how Audi is now owned by Found On Road Dead, that shoudn't be much of a problem for VW.

wow, amazing powertrain but it still has VW styling. to me, it just looks like any other sedan out there (but with a monster engine of course). when i have the money, i'll be getting a BMW M3 or M5. yeah, it has much less power, but they're beautiful cars. just my opinion.

 

[havoc]

Looks like an Impala fromt he back and a Volks mixed with a Lexus from the front, a true piece of shit. peace

What I'd be probably be getting if I was in the market for a new car:

Can't fuck with GM. Not only is that car loaded to the gills with virtually every option you can get on a car, but it'll do 150mph with its pimp-ass NorthStar engine & no mods. Spend another $3500 and get a custom NorthStar supercharger and you're talking 175... in a Cadillac. Not bad for $45-50k.

 

[Wombat]

Looks like a 50 thousand plus dollar Jetta with power to me.......

Drunken Weasel, get your facts straight. Audi is owned by the Volkswagen Group.

 

[Citruscide]

Wow... they make that in a Matchbox car already? And as a V12?!?

C-ditty

Sorry.. I thought it was Audi.. maybe its Aston martin that got bought by ford? ... I know it was one of those european car company's...

The Only VW I would consider would be a GTI VR6...

The Only VW I would consider would be a GTI VR6...

...and then put an EIP turbo-kit on the VR6 and make yourself a 10 second car!
