Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if this is quite the direction I would go in if I wanted to lift the Image of the Phaeton

................but then again, some Americans might like it - I've never understood the "stretched" thing

Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

As far as stretch limos go, this is definitely one of the best I've seen recently. Although the window setup in the middle part needs work...

Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

I for one don't like it. The Phaeton isn't built to be stretched, it shouldn't be.

Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

It might look a bit kitsch from the outside, but the interior, although a bit showy, is made to a standard that Mercedes and BMW should take note of - it makes the level of quality in the Mercedes W220 S600 Pullmann look pathetic.

Mercedes might not see the Phaeton as much of a threat but they sure could learn a thing or two about build quality from VW's interiors.

Look real plastic - Plastic-looking veneers, loose-fitting leather and a generally ugly interior design - The W220 S600 Pullmann was a real low point for Mercedes IMO - it's like a manifesto of tackiness and tastelessness.

Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

Those seats don't even look that comfortable... They look like a tight fit.... Not as wide as say a Maybach's...

Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

I wouldn't usually say this but I think the Maybach's interior is more tasteful than this Phaeton's.

Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

I like the club V.I.P. atmosphere of the Phantom much much more. Sit in the two and you'll know exactly what it is that I'm saying.

Re: VW Phaeton Lounge. Extra long luxury.

I have problems with all strectched limos.. from lincolns to MB´s.. everything..
Either you get a Maybach.. or a regular S A8 or 7...
And the fact that its a phateon doesent help it alot..
