To compete you have to offer something that looks different and original.

All I've seen so far is an exact copy of the R-Class with a VW looking grille. Why don't they let the Audi name plate fight this out?


I smell another Phaeton mistake.
So much money, so many poor decisions.

Like Mercedes would be scared. Volkswagen as a Mercedes competitor! In VW's dreams. I think the only cars that compete with eachother are BMW and Merc, and Audi also is up there with them. But Volkswagens are ugly things apart from the Phaeton and Passat. Theres something in each company that stands out. Like in Mercedes its the SLR, BMW its the 7, Audi i think its the A6 and Volkswagen have it with the Kombi. But seriously, a Volkswagen competing against a Mercedes-Benz. Yeah, right.

It looks okay for a Volkswagen, but I think there copying what the automatically developed pictures of the next gen BMW 7er front headlights on the right half of the right headlight is.

The two-tier VW headlamps have been in use for a little while now...

Oh, nice new E-Class on the cover there.
