The Phaeton is dead--sort of.

define 'rubbish'

[S4AWX]

boring: ugly, boring and looks like a toyota avensis

[clutch-monkey]

i'll agree that the conti GT isn't the best looker, but with that much power it'd hardly be boring

the Phaeton is a good car by itself. It's just aimed at the wrong market.... seriously who would want a 100k VW?

[F1_Master]

the flying spur is rubbish what you want is the new aston martin rapide

Yes, I want a car that is not for sale and is probably limited to 100Mph in concept stages.

I'll take the Continental Flying Spur. Having a martini had 200Mph never seemed so bad, imo.

I'd prefer an A8, but I would consider a Phaeton. Exclusivity is my main reason.

Yeah, I really want a car thats currently held together with zip-ties and super glue.

AND it has a V-10 diesel which is so wonderfully wasteful.

Diesels are wasteful?

[VtecMini]

Diesels are wasteful?

I think they are when they struggle to manage more than 25mpg...
Though I suppose the equivalent petrol would still use more fuel...

[Esperante]

Diesels are cleaner, more reliable, and less wasteful than petrol engines.

even though the bentley is a good car i would prefer the maserati quattroporte

Soot isn't clean, if you blow piston rings the engine won't stop accelerating until it explodes, what is the point of using a fuel thats only around for the economy to power a V-10?

the other reason for diesel, massive torque

I would have bought a Phaeton if they had brought them to Australia. But then again, I would have bought and A8 as well. If I could afford them that is.
