[Shotimes] RE: (OT) Automotive Turkeys 2005

The local VW dealer had a 'buy this car get a free beetle' sticker on their
Phaeton. Basically, pay list of $80K+ and get an $18K car free.

I see no problems with any of the turkeys they mention.  A different set 
of criteria would bring up other "turkeys" I am sure, but I thought the 
article was pretty well written and they did a good job of coverying 
their advertising behinds by qualifying almost every decision.

Wonder what the discount is on the Phaeton?  That would be a nice car to 
have, but I also wonder about keeping it going in future years?  mazda 
Millinia anyone?
