Wow cool! I love it when they do multiple 'creations' in 1 move  And those people looked very realistic Thanks for sharing!

Probably because the ad had nothing to do with the Phaeton until the last seconds.

the reason why the phaeton didn't sell very well is the fact that it was too damn expensive for a vw, i mean if the motoring snobs out there were to spend that much money on a car it better have a less common badge on the bonnet!
really good machine though

That's a cool commercial.
Unfortunately the car was doomed from the beginning.

I mean say you're at a party and you'r talking bout what car your driving one fellow says o i have a 07 sclass another person says he has a a8 .. 750li ...ls460.ect. and you say i have a volkswagon phateon.. Dont get me wrong its a great car but front the leading names like audi mercedes and bmw it doesnt match up.

Actually, it would be quite the opposite - when you drop $100K on a VW, you really don't need to brag about your money and "stuff" - you are the epitomy of understated elegance.
The problem is that most people who buy these cars are wanna be celebs and like to flaunt their wealth and "stuff' - and for them the self-indulgent sel-promotion of "I drive a BMW 760iL" is what they need to feel good - when the Phaeton does the same things maybe better than the 760iL or the S600 - maybe even costs a little less and does it without fanfare.
