Legend speaks of the return of the Volkswagen Phaeton, a.k.a 'Piech's Pholly,' a.k.a. the VW sedan so mind-blowingly expensive, Americans wouldn't wrap their wallets around it. To combat the problem, Volkswagen has now made a version even more expensive.

The Exclusive trim is a "lifestyle" car with completely customizable options unavailable on any other Phaeton, a vehicle already loaded to the peak of its huge C-pillar. Still, we're hoping the "Exclusive" moniker isn't just a swipe it us, who are not exclusive enough to get the Phaeton again... yet.
