Yeah I know about the loss you'll make but TBH if you can afford a car in that sector those sorts of things are not likely to play heavily on your mind, ha ha.



Thats the problem right there. If you can afford a car in this sector your simply going to go for the one that costs the most/has the most toys/is voted the best/goes the fastest etc etc.

Unfortunately as good as that car is... its none of those things :undecided:

Meh, I still like it and would rather drive that than some cock extension from Merc or BMW.

Didn't Clarkson rate it but said it had no hope becuase of the badge?

As a luxury car – as a machine for going quickly and comfortably in sepulchral silence – the Phaeton is better than any of its rivals from Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Maserati.

It just needs that 'prestige' badge, VW will struggle to shake the  "Audi's cheaper Cousin"  'branding' amongst the prestige car buyers.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Im not one to jump on a band wagon.. although clarkson was probably right..  but if it wasn't my money I would probably go for the A8 to be alittle different. Having been in all of those above except the maserati i would opt for the BMW. It was the best out of the lot mentioned.... it was that simple for me :smiley:
