Got one of my dreams fullfilled today at the Toronto autoshow. I saw a roped off Phaeton, with the W12 engine sitting there, with a staff member there to answer questions... Well I asked him if I could check out the car, moreso then the rest of the crowd that is, who were gazing at it thru its open doors.... Actually it was not drawing the attention I think it deserves, it truely is magnificent.
I got to sit, front seat and rear seat in this thing. Much nicer then the Audi A8L... In every way (maybe not dynamic performance, but who throws those big ships around on a track anyways?? He let me play with the sound system, which BTW sounds gorgeous, at least at playing classical music (I mean, what else would they demo a Phaeton with?... suits it), as well as the myriad of seat controls.... Power EVERYTHING, there were options for the power seat that I wouldn't think you would need, but when I got in my Golf, it felt so... inadequate. The car was utterly fantastic, I was thinking I might get let down, by the car not playing up to my expectations.... But I can honestly say i'd buy it for the $130K Canadian he quoted me.... I wonder what my insurance would be...?
That is of course.... if I had $130... some day (dream #2, become rich)
