VW’s CEO Says “Oops!”
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time, but now Volkswagen’s CEO, Bernd Pischetsrieder, thinks the big Phaeton luxury sedan was a big mistake. “It was, to put it mildly, a misjudgment,” said Pischetsrieder. Developed by his predecessor, Ferdinand Piech, the “saloon car” will continue in production for at least another four or five years, and after that, there’s likely to be a successor vehicle. But don’t expect another sedan, stressed Pischetsrieder. Exactly what he has in mind he isn’t saying, but the one thing that might carry over is the Phaeton name. “At least then, people will know how to spell it.”
