Volkswagen Developing New Phaeton:Cars News - LatestCarsWallpapers.com

VW is reportedly taking another stab at the top of the luxury market with an all-new flagship sedan to arrive around 2015. Back around the turn of the millennium, Volkswagen embarked on developing a top-class luxury sedan to compete with the likes of the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8. The result was the Phaeton, a luxury sedan that shared its platform with the Bentley Continental and built at a state-of-the-art "Transparent Factory" in Dresden, Germany.Offering all the trappings of a top-tier luxury sedan but without the badge snobbery usually attached, the Phaeton was a dismal failure in the US market. But VW is apparently ready to try again.
