Good points Ronin!!! That Phaeton was an engineering marvel of a car!!! Draft free Air Conditioning, massage capable seats, Air Conditioned seats, etc.... But, as you pointed out, it's sales were poor solely because it was a VW (basically just a re-badged Audi A8).
Good point about the Tudor's as well. An amazing collection of watches, made by Rolex, but more affordable. And yet, you meet a WIS while wearing a Tudor, and they will turn their nose up because it's not a "Real Rolex". Quite silly really!
