Thankfully, the Panamera is all in-house.

Too bad it's not coming to the States, I like it.....then again, I can't even buy a V10 TDI Touareg over here.

VW has always done a great job with interior ergonomics and fit/finish. The interior of the Phaeton (R.I.P.) was very well executed, perhaps better than an Audi A8.

Thats actually the only touareg I've ever remotely liked. However, at 110,000 bucks its practically in E81 optioned Cayenne Turbo territory, with less horse power and torque to boot.

Whatever, VW.

This is one for the V12 lovers.(or W12)....its the only way to justify the price.The only other stock 4x4 i can think of with a 12 Cylinder engine is the Lambo LM002.

Good for Volkswagon, too bad people won't pay that kind of money for a VW. The Phateon is a good example of this.
