Re: Facelifted Phaeton coming soon.
I've read somwhere the Pheaton successor will be more similar to original D Concept - a luxury wagon / hatch - coupe / sedan crossover - something similar to upcoming BMW V5 and rumoured Audi A8 Sportback.

Or maybe they will make Mk.II Pheaton a 4-door coupe CLS fighter.



It's for seems Mk. II Pheaton will not be a classic sedan any more.

Re: Facelifted Phaeton coming soon.
Haven't VW realised yet that most people will not pay that much money for VW when they could have an Audi or BMW on their drive?

Personally I think it's a bad idea for VW to renew this car!

Renewing this car is not feasible, true. I cast my doubts now that they would not be willing to create such a monumental car such as the Phaeton - and will be unable to - under the new management which most certainly would aim for cost-cutting. A lower cost Phaeton placed just above the Passat, maybe? But then that would conflict with the upcoming 4-door coupe that VW is planning to build (based on the Passat).

Making a hatchback or a 4-door coupe feels like it is 'giving up' on the traditional sedan by which we all know the Phaeton is sculptured from. I'm hoping for the Phaeton successor to be an even greater competitor to the incumbent 7/S/A8. Not feasible, but I still want to see it.

I can't see them doing that, VW would never make a more luxurious car than Audi, if they did they would completely ruin the branding! The Flying Spur is the best car made be VAG in this segment, then the A8 and then the Phaeton!

Marketing and brand value wise that may be true but as a car A8 is superior to Flying Spur.
In fact A8 is superior to every other car in the segment but that's another story.
