A W12 is born
Guess this will be my last post here. I shed myself of the A6 a little over a year ago and leased an M45 which I have now turned in.
I got a deal (!!) on a new Phaeton W12 which I couldn't turn down. (Cheaper than an A8). A very fantastic car. The top stereo system anywhere- according to all reports and ratings I have seen. The engine purrs like a turbine. A baby Bentley for 40% of the price.

Most dissappointing new cars
These three cars came in wide of the target -- way wide.

NEW YORK (Money Magazine) - It is amazing, sometimes, how careful corporate planning can go so very wrong.
Volkswagen Phaeton -- The conventional excuse for the Phaeton's dismal sales is that no one would pay $70,000-plus for a VW. But the Phaeton's larger handicap is that it can't claim luxury-class leadership -- not in design, power, technology or price. It's blandly styled, its performance is hamstrung by a half-ton weight penalty vs. some rivals, and its projected resale value is worst-in-class.
