In the August 2009 edition of Top Gear Magazine, Paul Horrell talks about the VW Phaeton in his column. Part of the article says:
"This is one of those cars that, because it's so well-made, gives the impression of actually getting better over time. All the German companies have made high-watermark cars like this: the BMW 8-Series, the Porsche 993, the previous generation Mercedes SL, the Audi A2. Cars that last forever because the engineers just took over - and the accountants ran for cover. Such engineering extravagance won't be tolerated any more. So a car that's a legacy from the good old days has got to be cherished."
I think that is a great way of describing the what sets the A2 apart from 'normal' cars. Glad to see that motoring journalists recognise it.
