Guess the name of this car?

[MonsterTDI09]

How long will it take to get the answer. Let the newbies guess for a good laugh. Give hints if you want.

it's a Phat One

Don't get too many of those around these parts.

Cool. Never seen one in the wild.

 

[verboten1]

I actually saw a first gen in Ft. Wayne about a month ago, it was pulling into the driveway of what I would call a mansion

 

[RebelTDI]

Phunny, I think I've only seen one of those in my life.

 

[oilhammer]

They are very nice cars. Nice if you want to drive a big luxobarge, but do so under the radar. People won't judge you as harshly driving a $100k Volkswagen as much as they would driving an $80k Lexus.

The most expensive MSRP'd one of these I ever saw was a 4-passenger W12 model, it was $109k and change.

You can pick up used V8 models now for not much more than a new Versa.

I've seen a few running around the DC metro area. Not many lately, though.

One of our club members, Meganuke, owned one for a few years.

Are they only $100K? Not bad compared to the Bentleys on the same platform.

Yeah, it is Phaeton.

I saw one of these while working valet and one back home (that was special because it had the 5.0 V10 TDI engine )

 

[TDI smile]

Never saw one in Northamerica, but a friend in Germany has one and just loves this car.

 

[FlyingFin]

The same floorpan as the Bentley Continental GT and sooooo much cheaper! But just as luxurious.

 

[BlankThis]

There's one at a local yacht club here... So understated, love it.

 

[djtc]

Phaeton! Ive been for a ride in one of these. Nice cars with a ton of luxury options.

 

[TDikook]

I sat in one at the dealers a few years ago. WOW was it luxurious!! every bell and whistle you could imagine!

 

[ItAintRodKnock]

Is the cars name Samantha?



I've seen acouple around Florida, very few and far between, I think I've only seen 3 or 4.
Beautiful cars that's for sure. Never knew they were bentley continentals incognito!

 

[weebl]

Saw one driving around town many years ago. Can't recall seeing one in person since.

 

[PacketHauler]

Saw one here in the metro area about 2 years ago, but no sightings since.

 

[j1mbo]

Its a Tank disguised as a Phaeton!

 

[irondogger]

Wilhelm von VoxWagen I believe!!!!!

 

[TDI smile]

Mr. Ferdinand Piech's car.... he just wants it

 

[oilhammer]

Yeah, it was one of his pet projects. That's what happens when the "People's Car" company gets run by rich aristocrats that married into the Porsche family. I wonder if Piech has even been in a Beetle?

 

[TDI smile]

I would say YES, because he drove the 1 Liter car to Hamburg, alone !!!!

 

[BoB JSDubb]

Strange. I saw one yesterday near North Charleston on my way back to ATL. I was surprised to see it because I haven't seen one in years. Very rare.

 

[leicaman]

There is one in my town I see all the time. Here is my take on these. Expensive new and thus expensive when something goes wrong, without question.

When my window clip broke in a snow storm filling the back seat up with snow i pulled into the shop next to a phaeton with the same problem and the owner laughed with the comment "$24K car or a $90K car they use the same crappy plastic parts".

 

[kjclow]

There are a couple running around charlotte. One near me. Always wonder who really parted with the money for the initial purchase. There's 2 on ebay. One currently at $7250 and the other at $9300 but wants $50K.

 

[2.2TDI]

Well...
