Phaeton should have been an Audi

Having seen lots of S series Mercedes driving around, which cost a lot more than $66K, the Phaeton sounds like a great value. But Audi, which was always an also-ran to Mercedes, started moving upscale and stole a lot of Mercedes and BMW business, so I can't understand why the car isn't an Audi, which would give it upscale name recognition, instant status, and "acceptibility". It would have been a natural one step up from the A8.
VW, like Chrysler, is losing its way going upscale. Why would anyone plunk down $66K for a Volkswagen (a 'People's Car'?)? Why would anyone plunk down $35K for a Chrysler station wagon (the Pacifica)?
