I'm not sure where they were in the design process of the two at the time, but it would stand to reason that the Bentley was actually built on the Phaeton chassis and on a lot of those same ideas. I notice the Bentley also uses a lot of the same control parts, though they're gussied up a bit. <br /><br />So I think the Bentley owners are feeling the Phaeton beneath!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253075916144835188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920775682014473680.post-31986874215437145422013-08-26T01:24:12.946-07:002013-08-26T01:24:12.946-07:00"With every other car I've owned, there w..."With every other car I've owned, there was always that thought of 'what will be my next car?' Not with this. If anything, I might want to upgrade to the next generation once that comes out. Even then, ideal conditions would allow me to keep my '04. I really do not want to part ways with this one."<br /><br />My thoughts exactly. Every time I get into this car I love the experience. I bought a used 04 v8 nearly a year ago and love it. I feel the Bentley beneath and the incredible quality in the chassis that makes it so solid, silent, and renders the driver confident in any but the most extreme situations. rmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214500116142563145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920775682014473680.post-22510421915067546542013-08-09T02:48:13.841-07:002013-08-09T02:48:13.841-07:00After reading the Phaeton forum on vwvortex.com, f...After reading the Phaeton forum on vwvortex.com, for about 10 years, I am fairly sure only once has it been reported that a Phaeton left someone stranded somewhere by the side of the road.<br /><br />And I think it was a diesel model in Europe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
