    There's no way that will fit on a VW dealer's lift

    i think it's gorgeous. and the interior looks absolutely stunning and about as classy as you can get. cant even imagine the gizmos that are in there knowing what the regular phaeton has.

    but the question remains.....will anyone actually buy this?

    Re: Phaeton Limousine by VW Individual @ Dubai IMS (phaeton)

    anyone have just a side shot of this car? straight on?

    im thinking that the lines of the car almost look better as a limo than as a sedan...due to the huge doors in the rear that almost make the sedan look a little too long. not sure if that makes sense, so i'd really like a full shot if anyone has one

    Yeah, wait until the window drops down into the door because of the cheapo window regulator clip.


    [Yes, I know that the clip problem has been addressed.]

    Where are you seeing that? I'm loking at the rear 3/4 view and I can see the window channel....doesn't look much thicker than any other double-pane to me.

    I wonder what that gauge is for between the two seats directly behind the driver? If it's a vdo boost gauge, I wonder if that sucker buzzes
    *edit, looks like a simple clock

    Also... if those are flute holders, how would you pull the glass out w/o spilling the champagne?

    Don't be so sure. The Phaeton is the regular ground beef of the luxury car market - you have to buy a lot of it unless all you want is fat.

    limos look silly no matter what. but, at least they come with a driver. I think that full size MB, BMWs, Audi, Cadillac, LIincoln, and phaeton etc look silly w/out a driver (meaning they are already "limo" big) and the owner should be riding in the back.
