    Rumorpile: Does Anyone Know When The Next Phaeton Will Come?

    A new report from Edmunds says that Volkswagen still has its eyes set on sending the next-generation Phaeton to the U.S., but when that will be is up in the air.

    "There will come a time when it is right to bring it back to the U.S. marketplace, but what we haven't defined yet is when that will be," said Volkswagen of America president and CEO Jonathan Browning.

    Sources tell Edmunds that at the moment, the Phaeton's return is at least three years away. Considering a previous report that had said the reveal of the next-generation Phaeton will happen in later 2014 or early 2015, that puts the possible return of the Phaeton in 2018.

    We'll be keeping a close eye to see if this plays out or if some changes happen.

    I suspect that with the next update to the Audi product line, then we will see the Phaeton come here as it will reduce the cost to produce being on a shared plateform. Over all VW needs to keep in mind that their customers for the most part are budget minded and so a luxury version I suspect will not sell well if it is overloaded and overpriced.

    What I remember is that many liked the VW Phaeton but thought it was over priced for what you got at least here in Seattle.

    A mechanic friend of mine says he has done a swap of putting in an LS3 engine into one that took care of the powertrain gremlins and the owner was swaping out electronics so I imagen you could probably pick one up as long as you do not mind re-enginering the car. :P

    It wasn't overpriced for the equipment you got. It was overpriced for the brand.

    That said, I would love to own one if they weren't such gremlin riddled cars.

    VW's in general or the Phaeton in particular?

    The Phaeton makes other VWs look like Corollas on the reliability chart.

      I didnt click on @A Horse With No Name facebook link because: 1. Facebook. I try to avoid Facebook as much as possible. Not hard to do anymore. Hope it dies sson though. I digress. Ill save THAT rant for another day. I think Ill start another Toyota hatred rant in the coming days instead... 2. I sooooo much hate Toyota, that I cant even bring myself to celebrate over Toyota problem stories because of the hatred being soooooo strong that even I try to avoid ANYTHING Toyota related.   (I do like some vehicles they produce as a disclaimer) But...I did listen to this one   Alls I got to say is...Toyota NEVER even HAD that reliabilty thing EVEN in the 1990s as that video is saying as the engine sludge thing HAPPENED in the late 1990s.  And even THEN, Toyota blamed the consumer...  So blaming the consumer is NOTHING new to Toyota. But the video is bang on!!! And as I was youtubing googling Toyota to retrieve that video above...I ran into Scotty Kilmore.   And he JUST released this video     Not gonna watch these videos, so I do NOT know of he has a clickbait title, but even Scotty has just acknowledged Toyota boo boos.    I have watched Scotty like 4 or 5 videos 5 years ago or something like that.  But Ill repeat, Toyota NEVER had this mythical relkiabilty thing. Some cars were built like tanks from them. Some cars are STILL built like gtanks from them. But they have had they SAME amount, but probably MORE shytty cars failing then any OTHER OEM...   But hey...  The Toyota kool-aid was some delicious shyte back in the day. Glad I NEVER drank it though.  But if Scotty is TRULY dissing Toyota's reliability, it MUST be a very REAL thing. But it ALWAYS HAD been a thing.  Oh well...
