The Phaeton stands in a class of one for its extraordinary blandness. Its brilliantly uninspiring and is probably more interesting today than it ever was in the early 2000s.

[@tnmrvc]

agreed, personally I think it's still very bland

[@lukeonuke]

i think that was intentional tbh, the only lads whod buy a luxury volkswagen are the types that are activly trying to stay low profile

This is when Volkswagen AG was top tier automotive engineering! Ferdinand Piech may have been awful, but his leadership made cars that were worthy of conversation. What an era. It will be missed. 😢

[@Vinline1995]

Why he was awful? I genuinely don't know

[@PlatinumNath]

​​@@Vinline1995 awful is kinda a bit of exaggeration perhaps(?) but no doubt he's a really harsh leader who only wants the best of the best, and if you happen to work for him back then, you would know that he's sort of a tyrant in his requests. If you say you can't meet his requirements on making a car he wants, you're out. And the requirements are sometimes insane for the time. Thats exactly how the VW Phaeton happened, aswell as many other cars that pushes the limits during his era.

[@CrushiChris]

also for a 2004 car the tech in it is actually impressive. the UI for example doesn't even look that dated

[@lbob2004]

I like that they made the same video with the same dude for Phaeton and the Mk4 Jetta. Piech-era VW is peak car.

[@masterkamen371]

I have to agree, this was the peak of cars. TDI engines were indestructible and were nearly in hybrid territory in terms of fuel efficiency. Audi's cars were indestructible. Volkswagen and Škoda... well the interiors were rubbish but they still had indestructible mechanicals. Now the best budget cars in history. Overly strict diesel emission controls and late stage capitalism have ruined everything.

[@chasewhite2796]

Y'know, the original design had a base-plate of prefabulated aluminite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-bovoid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters

[@masterkamen371]

Volkswagen was always the "indestructible shitbox brand", then they make a high quality and luxurious limousine with a trillion parts to break, which was always Audi's spot on the market. So it's an Audi, but without any of the branding to appeal to the typical snob. To be fair, I do thoroughly enjoy an Audi, especially when it grows too old for a snob and he sells it for cheap.

[@wadimek116]

​@@masterkamen371 Heavily disagree, audi handling is much more comfortable, a8 was faster, lighter by huge amount because of aluminum premium body, used higher quality wood and had much more leather conpared to plastic phaeton.
