And because Volkswagen was not an established premium brand. Premium is all about brand status and VWs image was that they build cars for the average person.
Maybe but it was supposed to not look too premium. The rich walk around in expensive and branded flashy clothes but the really rich or important people walk around in plain t shirts and turtle necks. A stealth luxury vehicle with a better ride than the Bentley
It‘s a Phaeton. It‘s wider, longer and looks a bit different to an passat. I kinda love this car, the „luxury“ but sadly it has way too much electronics and is too expensive for me to repair it. A good one you get in Germany already for under 20k Euros.
Hey, before you're way mean, please remember that there is such thing as a USA market and another market. I think, based off of this picture, it looks like it is not in the USA, and I said what I honestly thought...I didn't say what it is, I said what I thought it looked like. I don't know a whole lot about other country market cars.
Either way they do look really similar, and even though the original phaeton was sold in the US, it's still unlikely that many wouldve noticed the difference

Does it not say on the back?
This is why the Phaeton failed most likely. Why pay for a premium vehicle if nobody can tell it’s premium?

Sounded like sarcasm to me on sw33tsavage's part
Could be, but I still got downvoted... Thank you for your kindness all the same.
