  | Phaeton Edition 5 - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER It's in German... Can anyone translate this for me please?  PS. Just look at that interior!       Erfahren Sie Manufakturgeschichte Perfektion, Komfort, Design – der Phaeton interpretierte die Werte exzellenter automobiler Qualität schon bei seiner Markteinführung neu. Mit dem Phaeton Edition 5 markieren die Gläserne Manufaktur und Volkswagen Individual nun einen weiteren Höhepunkt in der Geschichte der Luxusklasse. Mit Leidenschaft konzipiert. Von Hand gefertigt Beim Design der limitierten Phaeton Edition 5 wurde großes Augenmerk auf eine luxuriöse Anmutung gelegt. Besonders der Innenraum fasziniert mit einer Auswahl hochedler Materialien und einem Zweifarbkonzept in Anthrazit und Sonnenbeige. Mit Stil vollendet. Von Tradition inspiriert Die exklusive Ledersitzanlage mit dem fein gelochten Leder „Sensitive Classic Style“ bildet einen eleganten Kontrapunkt zu den Bedienteilen in Aluminium-Design und dem speziellen Phaeton Dekor Klavierlack schwarz von Volkswagen Individual. Mit Charakter stark. Von Details perfektioniert Was den Phaeton so besonders macht, bietet auch die Edition 5: spezielle Details. Sonnenbeige Lederkeder an den Fußmatten, individuelle Phaeton Edition 5 Einstiegsleisten und abgedunkelte Seiten- und Heckscheiben runden die Ausstattung zu einem luxuriösen Ganzen ab. Mit Größe beeindruckt. Von Individualität geprägt Phaeton Edition 5. Ein individueller Name? Ein individuelles Konzept, das für designorientierte Produkte mit höchstem Anspruch an Technologie und Anmutung steht. Dass dem Phaeton Edition 5 diese besondere Behandlung zuteil wurde, zeigen die Logo-Plaketten an der Frontpartie. Mit Eleganz umgeben. Von Technik berührt Das Markenzeichen der Phaeton Edition 5 ist nicht nur eine einzigartige Optik. Technische Besonderheiten, wie die Sprachsteuerung der Telefonanlage, runden sein exklusives Konzept wirkungsvoll ab. |

| Re: Phaeton Edition 5 I'm excited to know what they have in store for this special Individual edition. I see the gauges from the pictures above are a little different! (or are my eyes deceiving me...) |

| Re: Phaeton Edition 5 I thought the phaeton was a flop?-you know like the half assed attempt at the new thunder bird... However this thing is gorgeous-lets hope VW doesnt stop making these things. Does anyone know how similar/different this is to the A8? |

I reckon the Volkswagen Phaeton has the best car interior in the world. It's beautifully crafted with fine materials and lovely subtle design. It's a beautiful looking car too. The Phaeton is by far the most presidential looking car, out of all the three German luxury limos. The reason why it didn't make better success, is because people these days are just too damn superficial, and they judge a car from the badge and not the merits of it. | |

 Few years ago i've had an argue about that with one old GCF members who said VW is not a luxury brand and therefore he doesn't care for Phaeton. He'll never be in the same league as 7er, A8 and S.  While i'd agree that VW is not recognized as a luxury brand, the other part is nothing but a BS. These pics confirm it! | |

The A8 however is built on a ASF (Audi Space Frame). Its entire chassis is aluminium and therefore it is a much lighter car than the Phaeton. This weight advantage makes it more sporty and agile than the Phaeton... If I were to see any differentiation for the A8/Phaeton, it would be that the A8 is more for the sporty driver while the Phaeton is more for the relaxed driver. The A8 also features its own MMI, while the Phaeton's multimedia interface was developed alongside the Continental series of Bentley. Hence, you can see similar radio, satnav as well as computer graphics and animations in the Phaeton and the Conti Bentleys. The A8 uses Quattro and VW uses 4MOTION - I've read before somewhere that it is essentially the same thing, but I could be wrong.  The Phaeton's V8 is identical to the one found in the A8 4.2, and so is the W12. Hope that helped somewhat. phaeton can chip in more. Quote:
