  2. It's all about promotion. Once you realize the Phaeton compares better to the Bentley Flying Spur @ $200K you realize it's true value. Also, I got a much better lease deal on the Phaeton @ $76K than I did on my LS @ $69K with free rental and maintenance. And service on the Phaeton was only every 10K as opposed to the LS 5K. And I never had to top off oil etc.
  3. I almost got the A8 but their money factor sucked so Lexus got my business. VW is talking about bringing the Phaeton back to the US in 2010~2011. My concern is that they will cheapen out from Piech's orignial vision (current design) to make it profitable in the US market. Meanwhile I get a lot more sleep in the LS <_<
  4. Before I recently leased my new 09 LS I had two VW Phaetons which is basically the Bentley Flying Spur without the turbo. Even though my LS is quick and has a lot of electronics the Phaeton didn't have, the Phaeton was a much better driving car. I can't drive the LS like I could the Phaeton because it goes into skid protect all the time. Even though the Phaeton is a heavier car 5,400 lbs it just sticks in the corners becasue of the all wheel drive. Unfortunately you can't get the Phaeton in the US any more or I would have leased a third one. You may say why would you want to push the LS? with a 0~60 time of 5.5 seconds why not?
