All they had to do is remove the VW name and they would have been good to go. It is still a nice ride.

I agree. Sales have been very disappointing here with fewer than 1000 units sold. Good thing VW still has the Bently GT and Flying Spur being produced in their ultramodern Dresden plant.

I read that too. Everybody knew this would happen when they released. Why would anyone pay over $80k for a VW? And then take to VW dealer for service where the other people bring their beater Jettas. What were they thinking.

It really is all about the badge - I agree.
In northern Toronto, there's a place where there is a Benz and VW dealership next door. They were trying so hard to sell Phaetons that they had propped one up on each of the 3 glass walls of the VW building. That way any customer in the Benz building would see it.

I agree, it's all about the badge...+ they don't need to go luxury, they have Audi for that.

Too much money for a hopped up Passat
 But seriously, why is VW trying to hit a high end market? Nissan made Infiniti, Toyota got Lexus and Honda decided on Acura....heck even Ford went ahead and got Aston Martin and Jaguar. I think VW is trying to go down a path that will eventually lead to a loss.
