Does this mean no more mistakes like the Phaeton?

Yeah, really. The article says there were "no clear reasons" for his dismissal, but that just means that they don't know anything about VW's recent history.

Looks like the new boss is already on the right track. He wants VW, Seat and Skoda to be volume brands and Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini to be the luxury brands. No more forcing VW to be something its not. He also wants more sharing of technology. For example the previous boss wanted VW to spend up to half a billion to design a new 6-cylinder diesel engine when Audi had already just built one they could have used a variant of.
