They need to get that crappy V12 out of there and put a V10 TDI in it. Then I'll want one. :lol:

A little off topic, but what ever happened to the W8. I haven't heard anything about in a long time. Did it turn out to be a turd?

Thats a shame, I rode in a W8 Passat wagon a couple years back that they had at a buddy of mines Dealership. It was crazy.... Going 120 and still had tons of pedal left.

Yeah, I got to "borrow" one for the night when I worked at the dealership. It was a nice machine. Price tag was insane though, something like $40,000? WAY too much for a Passat.

Now, I also got to drive a W12 Phaeton. :shock: Insane. Whisper quiet, and so smooth, you have no idea you are going as fast as you are. It's like imaging a Cruise ship going warp speed.
