I have seen the new VW Phaetons in Geneva this week.
They are very impressive and dare I say it, even attractive looking.
You just need to look at 'touches' like the boot hinge mechanism to see that VW are deadly serious about this car.
PS. I hope Dutton got some cash out of them.

No, sedan is a type of chair actually (I think one of those ones that have four poles and are carried along by two people). I just pointed out that the etymology was similar.
(Actually, the reason I know this is because I had a matchbox model of one when I was a kid and it had the longest title I'd ever seen on a car. It said "1937 Cord Model 812 Supercharged Convertible Phaeton Sedan ", which is actually 8 characters longer than "2002 Subaru Impreza WRX Sti Type UK Prodrive Style" )
[Edited to say I thought it was Boutras Boutras, not Kofi Kofi]
