I own a 2008 Jetta and love it. Unfortunately the new styling looks more Japanese and less European...a shame really. If I wanted a honda...I would buy a honda. I was thinking about upgrading to a passat V6 and I'm sure its a great car, but the new form looks boring and is basically a selling point only.
I like the passat its got a premium look like always!! Great job vw! Never mind all these hating ass jealous ass bitch ass people who couldnt afford to own one! Das auto!
VW....*SIGH* THEIR CARS ARE GETTING SO BORING. THE JETTA AND PASSAT LOOK ALMOST IDENTICAL. THE PREVIOUS GENERATIONS OF BOTH ARE MUCH BETTER. STOP TRYING TO PLAY IT SAFE VW.
consider that volkswagen bought audi and now audi has a better reputation than volkswagen. yes, audi is the premium model of volkswagen. same cars, different image. but look at the new audi a6. thats how a german car should look like. come on. this passat is just bullshit. if volkswagen wants TO MAKE A BIG STEP, then they should start making cars like that. a4-jetta, a6-passat, a8-phaeton. they should share same engines. so volkswagen will not have such a bad reputation anymore
@LTF85199 Because they're trying to increase there market in the US. You can tell it even looks cheaper now. It looked better before they brought production to the US. Still somehow Toyota can do this and even make most of their vehicles more in the US than the big 3, and still it's a success.
@Zinizzle I completely understand their new strategy, but they can design a nice looking car with low cost. what really happened here is poor art/fashion and not necessarily using cheap parts. End result is a very boring looking car but doesn't look cheap at all..
@Laceration242 the older one didn't look like a space ship and it looked far more interesting than this "conservative" thing.. looks like they are going to conserve a lot of potential sales too...
@LTF85199 This one looks a lot more modern then the old Passat that's for sure. I guess that is all opinion based. This Passat has a lot more to offer then the older model, like any new model would. Only time will tell how it will do with sales, but i can see this selling very well do to many factors.
@PlzDuntBanMe I doubt that there will be too many drawbacks. With VW growing and growing as a company and owning more and more other car companies, sharing car parts will be more and more common. And that's what they already did here with the Passat . Instead of developing a whole new platform they just took a slightly modified old Passat platform or maybe the same as the new Audi A6. Same with some parts in the interior etc. etc. ... and that saves a whole lot of money.
@iNegahban well the CC is a great car, but this is just cheap junk, i mean no more 2.0T and that shitty 5 cylinder as the base engine, just not gonna sell what it has the possibility too
@matman142 Well to your response, as I stated, I think that VW is trying to do what major car companies like Toyota, and Nissan are doing. The way I see it as this. VW had 2 cars pretty much priced at the same, but the CC looked so much more appealing than the Passat. They had to seperate those two cars (price wise). So, let me explain.

@MOSacid Agreed 100% about the styling. In my opinion the only thing going for this new Passat is the TDI & manual transmission option
