Because it disappeared from the market it would be a no-go for me but other wise I'd really like to own and drive one. I've owned several luxury cars of the past years and none of them compare to the Phaeton. It appears that there's a lot more to success in the market place than just a good car.
Anonimity isn't good in that segment. the owners have money and want to show it.
I respectfully disagree with that comment.
Many owners who "have money" don't always show it off. it's those owners with the Volvo S80 with T6 Vs. BMW/Merc/Porsche etc.
That's the great thing about Volvo's, they are often driven by uber wealthy people who dont' want to draw attention to themselves or their cars. Crazy? I know! (heck, if I was uber wealthy I'd wanna show it off too). Many just want to enjoy their car without making a spectacle of themselves.
FYI, if I had the means, I'd also pick up a gently used T6 for daily use.
just my .02 cents
Well, I would want something anonymous mself. I'm really not into showing off what I've got, or don't.. But I'm definitely in the minority.
Agreed!
Actually, there's a lot more like us than you'd think.
