	The Fall of Phaeton
		Helios, the Greek god who drove the chariot of the sun across the sky by day, had a son, Phaeton, by a human mother.
		With the rashness of youth, Phaeton tricked his father into letting him drive the chariot.
		As the chariot disintegrates and the steeds break free, Phaeton plunges to his death.

	2004 Volkswagen Phaeton
		The first Phaetons to go on sale in the U.S. will be of the stretched variety, with the shorter wheelbase model arriving later in the model year.
		The Phaeton's steering wheel, for example, has no less than eight buttons and one thumb-activated mouse wheel; the latter control is for scrolling through the information screen located between the speedometer and tach.
		The V8 powered Phaeton starts with no audible indication that ignition had occurred, causing you to look down at the tach to be sure the car is indeed idling.

	usnews.com: Auto reviews: Volkswagen Phaeton (4/20/04)
		But the folks at Volkswagen have an active imagination, and with the new Phaeton they are swinging for the fences.
		The ride is firm and stately, to be sure, partly because the Phaeton is a heavy vehicle that handles its weight adroitly.
		The version of the Phaeton I drove, in fact, was perfect for passengering, with a four-seat configuration consisting of two huge, first-class-style rear seats with a console between them.

		The Phaeton is now moved into the light tunnel for a very thorough visual inspection.
		Phaetons that are built for customers who plan to pick their car up at the factory are placed into the glass storage tower after they have been built, and the complete pre-delivery inspection process is completed.
		The precision of measurement for the Phaeton bodywork is in the order of 10ths of a single millimeter, and it is impossible to achieve that precision by hand.

		As with many of the trumpets I have had the fortune to work on or design, Phaeton has been an exercise in creating a instrument that is fun to play, with ease of response, balanced timbre, and just might surprise even the most experienced trumpeter.
		The Phaeton is a new concept in trumpet design that combines inventive new acoustical weighted bracing on a light weight body section.
		The Phaeton is a Bb trumpet with an 11.68mm (.460") bore and a one piece 4-7/8" diameter bell.

		Every corner of the Phaeton, in fact, is a treat for the eye, in terms of fit and finish, the quality of materials and how they've been used to fashion an extremely satisfying luxury performance sedan.
		The Phaeton is clearly a VW at first glance, from the outside in its simple yet sophisticated styling and inside from the highly rational yet tasteful ergonomic solutions.
		The Phaeton is the first car of its class to combine all-wheel drive and a two-axle "active" suspension, and at a price which should guarantee it gets a serious look.

		The Phaeton is launched with the choice of two engines, a 3.2 litre V6 and a 6.0 litre “W” 12 cylinder.
		The launch of the Phaeton in fact has delayed the debut of the Audi A8, which is a genuine contender against the likes of Mercedes and Lexus.
		VW initially estimated that it would sell about 30,000 Phaetons, but was forced to slash this back drastically to 15,000 a year, and then 10,000, as hoped for buyers failed to materialise.

		Though viewed by many as technologically sound, the Phaeton's slow sales proved Americans were not ready to embrace Volkswagen as the manufacturer of ultra-expensive, premium automobiles.
		Though comparisons with the Audi A8 are inevitable, the Phaeton employs crisper lines around the headlights and tail lights, as well as in the subtle shoulder lines that span the car's sides.
		Despite its lofty price tag, the Phaeton is not expected to hold its value well, retaining just 55 percent of its original value at 24 months and a poor 41 percent at 48 months.

		If the Phaeton's engine only equals the current status quo in the fullsize luxury sedan segment, then it comes as a surprise how awesome the chassis is. Though it can't match the 745's outright grip nor its flat attitude during hard cornering, the Phaeton's stability at speed is incomparable.
		However, the Phaeton's real "way-cool, dude" feature is the power-operated trunk that uses the lid's VW logo as its button.
		In the safety department, the Phaeton has a full complement: eight airbags, an active front headrest system, an automatic distance control feature for the cruise control and new seatbelts that VW claims reduce belt tension and improve comfort.

		And to add insult to injury, American dealers are now offering incentives including a highly-advertised and heavily-subsidised lease programme in a last-ditch attempt to top sales of 1000 cars a year across the nation.
