yowza :oh:

Truth be told.. I immediatly clicked because I thought it said "Phantom"

but....
wow.

Peeeerty nice.

Specs?

Looks like it's attempting to compete with the Bimmer 5 series (maybe even 7 series :eek3: )

optional 6.0L, 420 hp, 12 cylinder engine, but comes standard with a 4.2L 335 hp, 8 cylinder engine...


base price $64,600

W12 priced at $79,900



I can't really determine who its competitors are...the bmw 5 series and the Mercedes E class? :dunno: :thinking:


It seems to me that VW is hitting up the higher class competitors for which its not typically known for competing with...mostly with the introduction of this and the Toureg.

The taillights remind me of a maxima. The front looks mean as hell though.

5300lbs

sound like they are going for Rolls Royce

May they Crash and burn

Nice specs..

I'm thinking 7 series... especialy if it has the option of a V12.
BMW 760 anyone?

Touch of the Yota Alteeza, touch of Mazda Protege' 6 and touch of the Maxima. :)

That car is great and all but it has one MAJOR flaw
