Still looks like a big Jetta. Hope that doesn't doom it again.

At $50,000, this is not going to be the Phaeton we all know and love. Say hello to down-market A6/ oversized Passat.

Except there's not a lot of substance to the story. It's full of speculation, short on facts, and that rendering bears no resemblance to the actual next-gen Phaeton.

That's just a speculative rendering. Somebody's stab in the dark at what they think it might look like, possibly, maybe.

Germans are stubborn and they probably will make it look like another Jetta/Passat

There's a good reason why that looks like a big Jetta and not a new Phaeton: it's because it is a Jetta, more or less. That's actually the New Midsized (Not Really A) Coupe concept from this year's Beijing Auto Show.
