Volkswagen Phaeton could come back to America with diesel power
2008-02-14 20:51:00 Click image for photo galleryWhen Volkswagen introduced the Phaeton luxury sedan to the US market in 2004, onlookers were left scratching their heads. Who did Volkswagen think they were trying to sell an $85,000 car to compete with Mercedes-Benz? Apparently, most of the car-buying public felt the same way. After only two years of decidedly uninspiring sales, the Phaeton was dropped from the US lineup. During a speech at the Automotive News World Congress, VW of America CEO Stefan Jacoby said that he didn't think the Phaeton should have been discontinued here and opened the door for its return. If it does happen (and that is a very big if) it would probably be the next-generation Phaeton that comes here. According to VW spokesman Keith Price, if the Phaeton reappears in American VW stores, it would be the short-wheelbase model and it would likely have the 3.0L TDI V6 underhood. However, Keith made it very clear that any discussion of the Phaeton's return is purely speculative. The ...
Future Volkswagen Phaeton
2007-12-13 16:01:00 There are rumors saying that the future Phaeton will share the same platform with the future Porsche Panamera; while other says it will be built on the same platform as the Audi A6 and A8.Elegant but dynamic In my opinion, one of the factors why the current Phaeton model hasn’t made great succes, is that the design makes the car looks too fat, slow, clumsy. In fact, I often heard people saying the car reminded them of a whale, or an elephant.One of the things to a more succesful Phaeton is, in my opinion, to add a more sporty feel and dynamics to the luxurious design. The combination would make an elegant but dynamic car. The sketches show a low, curved roofline, oval headlights that are ’stretched out’ backwards and a long wheelbase. These elements contribute to a sporty look. Clear lines and a bold design are more the elegant and luxurious side. The combination of these elements make a slick, sporty but still elegant overall shape. The slick design of the...

Volkswagen Phaeton
2007-03-09 15:19:02 GENEVA ? Americans never could warm up to the Volkswagen Phaeton, the German automaker's over-the-top luxury sedan. The Phaeton left the U.S. market in 2006, a victim of a negative image and a too-expensive price tag. So when VW rolled out its face-lifted Phaeton on Tuesday at the Geneva auto show, it was clear that the U.S. crowd will have to be content with admiring it from afar.The redone Phaeton goes on sale in Europe this summer. Key changes include a new face that brings the Phaeton more in line with the VW family look. The Geneva show also marked the debut of a new 3.0-liter V6 TDI engine for the Phaeton that delivers 234 horsepower ? a 13-hp increase over the previous V6 TDI engine. VW noted that the new common-rail direct-injection engine meets Euro V emissions standards ahead of the 2009 deadline.The Phaeton lineup includes three gas engines: a 237-hp 3.2-liter V6, a 330-hp 4.2-liter V8 and a 444-hp 6.0-liter W12.The Phaeton also gets new bi-xenon adaptive front headlight...
