Good luck with it VW.. How them Phaetons sellin?
And I dont understand it. VW owns Audi.. Why would they go after the Audi market???
I wish VW would stick to what it used to do best, and what its known for. Good, basic cars. If VW is making luxury cars, whats the purpose of Audi? If they want to get into sports cars, why have Porsche?
Its like if Ford was to come out with luxury car to compete with the Town Car..Doesnt make sense.. If its cheaper than a Town Car, it would take away business from their existing line. If it is the same price as a Town Car, people would just buy the damn Town Car.
Same with this. If they want to get into the Audi market, why not just sell it as an Audi at the same price?
And VW doesnt understand why it has to struggle in the US market...
Totally! IMO VW should abandon the luxury segment and get back to economy and sport-compact stuff. They more luxurious they get, they more they canabalize Audi.
When the New Beetle came out in '98 I couldn't believe the sticker price, not to mention how far the basic philosophy was from the originals.
This is a hot ride, though. I hope they can move a good amount.
