Path Phaeton
Volkswagen brought to the market a long-drawn version of his top model is pleasant when a car awaits you at the airport. And it is doubly pleasant if it is a luxurious limousine VW Phaeton Long. True, I failed to taste the whole charm of the rear seat and those same additional 120 mm on that first Berlin evening. But I immediately appreciated the magnificent ...
A dozen for happiness
It so happened that it was the figure of twelve that opens the car with a pass to the representative class, but Volkswagen considered that it was not enough to have so many cylinders, and came up with Phaeton Long.

There is Volkswagen, and there is Phaeton
More than the flagship, the acquisition of a representative of a representative class is not only a rational, but also an emotional choice.

Six hundredth Volkswagen
By introducing Phaeton, Wolfsburg challenged Stuttgart, it was one of the most intriguing prime ministers of the last Geneva car dealership - Volkswagen Phaeton. In any case, according to the degree of interest shown by visitors, the new flagship of the concern could well argue with the limousine revived by the efforts of Daimlerchrysler Maybach.

Once again about prestige
Someday, the Germans will definitely put Ferdinandy Pikho a bronze bust in their homeland. Or they will fork out the monument near the Volkswagen headquarters. At least his merits to the concern are not in doubt. And the new flagship with the strange name Phaeton is the brightest confirmation of this.
