As far as I know, North American purchasers can also order additional exterior colours (e.g. Mezeppa Grey, Tarantella Black, etc.) without difficulty or great additional expense, but this will probably require that the car be custom-built for the individual.

Both Vienna leather and Sensitive Classic leather as listed as standard. This seems odd, until you read the fine print on the file above, which indicates that you get non-perforated Vienna as basic on the car, and an upgrade to perforated Sensitive Classic if you order the Comfort and Cold Weather Package, which includes ventilated seats.

It's also interesting to note the multiple references in this document to "Key opening and closing feature for windows and sunroof". Does this mean what we have now - stick the key in the driver door cylinder, turn it and hold it, and the windows and sunroof open or close, or does it mean that we can play these games by pushing the buttons on the remote?

There are also some notable 'running changes' to the equipment on the Phaeton. At the beginning of week 22 of 2004 (this being the model year changeover, 2004 to 2005), the new grille, soft close doors, colour matched OnStar antenna, and Performance wheels for the V8 were introduced. At the beginning of week 45 of 2004, advanced airbags were introduced, and at the beginning of week 5 of 2005... TA-DA... Active Cruise Control became standard on all North American Phaetons.

This document also contains all body dimensions, weights, stuff like that.

Try right-clicking on the PDF attachment and choosing "Save As" from the context menu that will appear when you right-click on the attachment. Don't forget to take note of where on your computer you 'save it as', lest you not find it once it downloads...

Try using a different computer, perhaps?

Perhaps another forum member who is reading this post could try clicking on one of the PDF links above, and report back whether they can access it or not.

If one of them has the MSRP prices listed for the 2005 Canadian Phateon, would someone mind emailing it to me?
