Own a VW for the Price of a BMW?

I loved test driving this car. It had the best seats of any car I ever driven. I currently own a 7 series BMW and while this car compares very favorably to the BMW, I have to wonder why any consumer would take a chance on a new, unproven luxury car for about the same price as the new BMW 745I. If this car was $50,000 I would have written a check on the spot. In order for this car to sell they will have to discount it to attract the BMW, Mercedes, Jag crowd.

I just ordered one about 6 weeks ago and it should be here in Florida in another 6 weeks. I did have one for a full day to drive and it was WONDERFUL. I've owned most of the other German, English, and Japanese luxury cars and I can tell you that for the money, NONE of them can touch this car. The hardest part is getting past the VW logo. Once that's done (after driving the car for about 10 minutes) then the decision is an easy one. I can't wait to get mine, David Duty Gulf Breeze, FL USA

A tour de force in design, performance, craftmanship, comfort and technology. The fit and feel of the vehicle is almost perfect in terms of convenience, scale and driving experience. A remarkable, hand-crafted tourer.
