Default Pricing is important, but not my first criteria

The car is going to be priced competitively to offerings from the other 2 big german manufacturers.

Default Well, the 7 was ruined by the BMW's realization it needed a bigger

trunk. And it looks just like that, an afterthought.

The new Audi face does not look like an afterthought at all.

Default Re: The Audi W12 is actually a newer engine than the W12 in the Phaeton

Right and the Bentley Continental GT's twin turbocharged W12 is based on the VW W12 and not on the Audi's...or do I have it turned around?

I'd love to test drive a W12 Phaeton because I actually really like the design, having seen a few on the road in New York and San Francisco. It is much better looking that the supendously expensive and pointless, IMHO, Maybach.

Topgear's Clarkson did a test on it and spoke of the engineering involved...it was mind boggling...

Default I did drive one, couple times, really liked the interior comfort and looks and as

far as I could tell, just as snappy as the A8L.
