Phaeton is #1 most depreciating car out there. If you want cheaper Audi A8, then there you go. ---

Gorgeous factory, but no wonder they are so expensive. Looks cleaner than most showrooms. ---

Seeing those pictures makes me want one. The only inefficient thing I see is the use of space but, its not like the factory is in Japan so who cares aboot space?😛 I mean its not like they are jammed on a small island.🙂 ---

Damn seeing how they are built makes me want one, definately used though. Crazy, canadian maple hardwood in a assembly plant ha. Apparently they assemble bentleys here too, that makes more sense. I can definately justify this factory for building bentleys since they are supposed to be uber expensive and hand built. ---
