It's a shame that Phaeton was discontinued, a really underrated vehicle.

@@filipborin555 the weight was not an accident. It makes the ride, quieter and smoother. If you get a V6 then yeah it feels slow but with a V10 or W12 then it feels fast at any speed!

I'll miss you, ♥♥ Phaeton ♥♥ (2002 - 2016). Maybe you have not been a successful model in the top category, but I have loved you since I saw you first official photos in late 2001. Thanks for this wonderful video. Kind regards from Barcelona, Joan (John in Catalan). PS: (DE) Vielen Dank, Herr Piëch, für das ehrgeizigste Projekt von Volkswagen aller Zeiten. Ich bewundere Sie so viel!!! Grüße aus Barcelona, Joan.

The relative anonymity of the badge would have been a desirable aspect of the car for me. The problem was the horrid reliability so many complained about. Too bad.

in Romania we are only alowed pleb cars, you pay for that car 400ish euros City Hall tax, here I pay 600 for the 3l diesel, if I wanted the v10 I'd have to pay 1800 euros/year just tax

Danke für dieses sehr gut gemachte Video. Der Phaeton ist ein besonderes Auto. Mit wieviel Respekt die Arbeiter den Phaeton zusammen bauen. Fahre selbst einen Phaeton gp4 seit über 5 Jahren. Jede Fahrt ist ein Vergnügen.

I am so happy people are such snobs that they want a brand on their car. This allowed me to own a great manufactured car at the price of a second hand Passat. I've been driving my 2012, long, 4 sitter Phaeton for longer then a year and it has been an amazing experience. Every day I drive the car, enjoy the comfort, amazing music, stainless steal and wood details and safety and feel privileged.

had the car for more then 3 years now. I changed the websto fuel pump for the stationary heating-500 eur, was abit of work as you need to unscrew the back axel, I had a accessories belt fail because I did not know to change the wheel on the crankshaft at 100.000 km - 700 euros and a hydraulic fluid pipe failure- 100-200 ish euros but I had to tow the car back home from vacation. Someone hit me on the side, 2 new replacement doors are 11.000 euros but you can buy used for around 700 so there's room to negotiate with the insurer, I'm curious how will they fit since some parts are also adapted on the car when they are mounted in.

Toll! Alles mit Ruhe und Bedacht umgesetzt und sehr leise dort. Sehr beeindruckend! Sehr schade, dass der Wagen sich nicht durchsetzen konnte. Vom Bau her dürfte es eines der qualitativ hochwertigsten Fahrzeuge des Grosserienbaus gewesen sein.l Danke für diesen Beitrag.

It always amazes me how much resources and work goes into producing any automobile. From the cheapest to the most expensive. It really is amazing.

I have been there several times. This was real passion and quality! But Mr. Diess was not able to sell. I have driven this type several times and it always was a full pleasure. So sad about his decision to discontinue. Here on KZread you can see videos about the following developing which was waiting in the cellar. So elegant!

This was the finest vehicle to have ever left a Volkswagen factory.....quality,craftsmanship and attention to every tiny detail......yet the customers under appreciated this vehicle,because it never made a big entrance,like say big BMW's

One will be enough for me

Volkswagen should produce the Phaeton again! And, yes, in the engine lineup it should also offer a big V10 TDI engine!

I am overwhelmingly proud to own a 2008 GP1 VW Phaeton! Only 172 left in Europe and out of those I can't tell you how many are Right hand drive in England. Especially in the specific Black mine is (B2 R9V) and with options like massaging ventilated seats and electric boot with 19 omanyt wheels. It feels like a 1 of a kind and I will keep it for as long as possible. I hear they are reviving the Phaeton as an all electric car. I would like to visit The Factory in Dresden and take Her to see where She was born. I also need a 2008 - 2011 ( facelift) front bumper in said paint code if anyone can help. Loved that video so much. Is any other factory videos of the 1st "Bentley" Generation being built available? The one showed In this film is the Audi A8 version.

If only VWs were this easy to take apart and put back together. 😥

They even give a chance for humans beings do something.

A criminally underrated car that was the victim of badge snobbery pedalled by the motoring press even before the chance to test drive it. And even then they said it had the wrong badge.

Liked the car when it came out and would have bought one IF they had been as reliable as my Lexus LS. Sad.
