They didn't quit making it, but it's only sold outside the US since 2006. They might bring it back here, though. The reason should be fairly obvious: if you are an American and you can afford a car that costs over $100,000, you're not going to buy it from Volkswagen.

In Greek Mythology, Phaeton or Apollo is the son of Helios, the sun god. Phaeton was killed by Zeus when he mismanaged to drive the sun chariot and threatened to burn earth.
Phaeton's father, the sun-god, promised to grant Phaeton whatever he wished. Phaeton declared that he wanted to drive the sun-chariot, and although the sun-god tried to discourage him, Phaeton refused to choose something else, and the god was not able to retract his promise. The horses that drew the chariot, under a weaker hand, burst out of control, and Zeus was forced to slay Phaeton with a lightning bolt to save the world from burning up. Phaeton brought about his own downfall by his impetuosity and pride.
