Volkswagen Phaeton Facelift (Spy shots & info)





Quote:
The Volkswagen Phaeton may not have gotten much love in the States, but V-Dub's range-topping saloon has soldiered on in Europe, undergoing a series of minor tweaks since its introduction earlier this decade. For 2011, the Phaeton is finally due for a comprehensive facelift, and these newest spy shots show a new fascia is in the works.

Honestly, why bother?
I have nothing against the Phaeton, it's a very nice car, but even without a Passat grille it still will look like a Passat.

And obviously, people don't want a VW at that price.

It's a waste of money to FL it imo.

And it feels like a Passat on the inside too. Quality and luxury feel is quite an arm's lenght behind the A8, S-Class and 7-Series. So the car is in no-mans land really. Too expensive for a VW and a bit too lacking in quality to be a true alternative to a Mercedes or even an Audi.

My thoughts exactly. I like the car too, but it simpy has the wrong badge on it.
