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.

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.
