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?
