WOW!

That is awesome. Still way ahead of their time!

That makes me want to go over and see it in person. Unbelievable!!! Would love to have one of those cars.

Most people wouldn't hand over 100K for a Volkswagen, so sales were terrible:

"In the United States market, 1,433 Phaetons were sold in 2004, but just 820 were sold in 2005, leading the company to announce that sales in the American market would end after the 2006 model year. The rare W12-engined models have depreciated significantly, and sell for a small fraction of their original cost"
