#44 of 1677 Whining Audi Owners by mlayton694 Mar 04, 2002 (3:35 pm)
I would be whining too if I spent all of that extra money for an Audi when you can get a similar VW for about 25-40% less. You know whenever you hear people saying "paying $$ for a VW" , you are hearing from an Audi owner who doesnt really know what they paid all of that extra money for !! Bwhahahahaha !! Hmmmm, I paid 10k more for "an Audi" !! RMOA !!!

Whether or not this car is a "hit" or not it sure does look good. I think for 60K for the W12 version (if that is actually what it's going to cost) it will be a hit. The car really is a looker: http://www.germancarfans.com/photos.cfm?PhotoID=3020302.001 M
#46 of 1677 Will it sell? by fwatson Mar 05, 2002 (4:15 am)
I think someone at VW needs to ring up the head of Mazda, and inquire about what happened when they tried to market a new Luxury car under the same name as the lesser cars produced by the company.   In Mazda's case, it was a failure to open the proposed Amati division, then marketing the Millenia as a top of the line Mazda.   The Phaeton looks like "deja vu all over again" to me, despite it's great looks, and no doubt great mechanics. But I can't imagine paying $60000 or more for anything that says Volkswagen on it.   I wish them well.
#47 of 1677 The Car Connection reports..... by toyotas1 Mar 05, 2002 (6:35 am)
that the SIX-cylinder version ma sell for less than $50k! I thought the W8 would lead off!! It will have a 241HP six with a stick or 6-speed auto. Then the 420HP W12 or 310HP TDI V-10, later on. If this starting price is true, than the car's BASE PRICE will probably top out at $70k with V-12!!! A $50-70k spread I think is a great idea, as is the manual and TDI V-10. Thought is WOULD be W8, V-10, W12.....

I'm starting to think this car may have a chance, you can't a V12 from MB,BMW or Audi for anywhere under a 100K.   M

Also, when you get into this type of price range, I don't think you get alot of people penny-pinching or bargain hunting. If you can afford a $70-$80K car, you can afford to buy what you want! It's not like someone who really wanted a 5 series BMW or E class Mercedes getting a Passat instead because they could only afford a $25K car. If you can afford a $80K car, you can afford a $100K car.

Well thats *somewhat* true, that's how it's supposed to be. You have some that barely got into that 70K car (i.e. really can't afford it, but is managing it), but can't even think of a 100K car.   M
