  | VW has sold 1,000 Phaeton in Korea.  VW Phaeton: 1000th Phaeton for Korea The VW Phaeton is celebrating a small, but very impressive anniversary: the production of the 1000th VW Phaeton for Korea! Why is that impressive, because the market introduction was just one year ago. Seems like Koreans love the VW Phaeton. Korea is already the most important export market for the VW Phaeton.

| Re: VW has sold 1,000 Phaeton in Korea. Wow. I didn't see that one coming. Wonder what the reason for its success there is. Personally I have recently spotted my 2nd ever Phaeton here...

| Re: VW has sold 1,000 Phaeton in Korea. Well actually S Korea seems to have an apetite for big german sedan. It is one of the reasons of the succes of the E65 7er. SK is actually the 5th largest &er market last time I checked andd BMWs best seller. Again, last time I checked. |

| Re: VW has sold 1,000 Phaeton in Korea. It is such a great car that it should sell tenfolds the amount. Stupid ignorant rich people  Good for VW nonetheless.

 | Re: VW has sold 1,000 Phaeton in Korea. It's such a good car for such an excellent price....maybe the South Koreans' are able to do what so many others are not: see beyond the badge. |

I just wonder would have happened if the Phaeton had been a success all over the world. They've sold a mere 140 of them YTD in the U.S. for 2006, down 53 percent from 2005. M
