I've made a contact on another forum who kindly has sent me these details on Phaeton Sales.

He is a sales stat geek, his words not mine & has access to the following countries.

I've added Asia-Pacific regions Taiwan, North & South Korea, Australia & New Zealand.

Very interesting, thank you for posting! Since the Phaeton is a new model and a new contender in the market it isn't doing too bad, either. As the figures show the sales of the Phaeton is actually increasing worldwide year-on-year.

I can't give you an exact number, but the amount of Phaetons sold in Singapore numbers about 50.

Singapore added

Bruce

Just fourteen for Canada in 2006..(so far)

That's a shame, the Phaeton is such a great car, but it's so underated. Thanks for the numbers Ben.

phaeton

Actually its 7 no more will be sold in Canada

Bruce

Oh yeah i see, i added the three number, that's even worse

phaeton

So on average from 2001 thats over 4000 Phaetons a year

Mirage77

Yup, not a small figure by any measure.

far2000

im sure these figures are way below what vw were expecting, im still surprised its still in production, the sales of The merc r class is way more higher, and that is the ugliest car i have seen 4 a while....not saying the phaeton is goodlooking itself....

Mirage77

Well, VW definitely estimated the market wrongly, they set their targets too high.

I wonder too what VW will do about the Phaeton. I reckon to salvage whatever it has invested in Dresden, they will continue selling it. If a facelift is in order, it better come soon because the Phaeton is already lacking in certain technological advances (Bluetooth, for example? And DVD-based navigation maps).

I don't know how the R-Class is related to the Phaeton sales in any way. The R-Class is a Grand Sports Tourer, the Phaeton is a big luxury sedan. Perhaps you could elaborate?
