Thats a very specialised production line there, beautifull indeed.
Can't see many Phaetons running through there at any speed though.
Main thing for me with those pics is how clean it is
Compare that line to the Golf production line and the lines I'm used to at NMUK and it's a different world.

Nice link

I wonder how much money they are losing on each one they produce?!!

I wonder how much money they are losing on each one they produce?!!

Considering that they can't give them away I'd wager around 100% loss per car

Shame really as they are a cracking car easily on par with the new A8 (if not better). The problem lies in the fact that nobody wants to spend £40-60,000 on a Volkswagen when you can have an Audi/Merc/BMW for the same money.

Be a nice toy in 10 years time when they are only worth 5-6 grand. Especially the 6.0 W12 - 200mph+ with the limiter removed
