Still crazy about this car. I'm starting to see a lot of 04' models show up on lease returns now.

Re: Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Volkswagen Phaeton W12
It is a good car but i'd never take it over S,7 or A8 and not coz of the badge,the other cars just makes alot more sense to me.

If you think the other cars make more sense, isn't it, more of less, because of the VW badge? A lot of automotive journalists also say the car makes no sense, but can't really explain why, other than the fact that it is a luxury VW. I just don't see why else a superbly-engineered large car that is arguably better than the other competitors is not as sensible as those fellow competitors.
