Wow. That's Fahrvergnuegen!
It has an Ikeaish feel though..

For all its transparency, I kinda expected it to be a little more Om.

I hope American Carmakers take note. The Saturn Homecoming events long ago taught carmakers about the magic of plant tours. This is the next level.

I wonder how much of the $94,600 for its 2004 Phaeton W12 ultra luxury sedan covers the cost of the factory. I mean, it's a Volkswagen! $94K? (though I have to admit, it is a sweet car)

I love VW :P

Unfortunately...the Phaeton's aren't selling well. Especially stateside.

That is neat that those cars are custom made to order inside big glass containers, It's like a Dippin' Dots machine, but with cars!
The next step has to be allowing the customer to pick up one of those fancy inductively recharged screwdrivers to install their own accessories.

I hope the restroom walls aren't transparent too.

That 2nd photo is reminiscent of the interior of the downtown Marriot in South Bend, IN.
