Does'nt really suggest "Sport Sedan" styling...definitely a direct competition to the Accords &amp; Altima. And 280HP finally matches Nissans Claimed leading Hp output on their V6 model

Default same went for the VW 1.8T, it's all marketing.
sure the VW version has a different exhaust manifold allowing for a few more ponies, but Audi could and did easily surpass that over in europe withi their 190hp model.

Wrong engine, wrong Quattro and wrong chassis. No thanks, they can keep it!

What's wrong with the engine compared to the 3.2, aside from layout causing use of Haldex AWD?

I saw the new Passat at Audi's training facility a couple of weeks ago. It looked pretty nice to me. I don't mind the redesign of the Passat as much as I do the A6.

Default Never been a fan of the VR6. IMHO, Haldex is not as good as the TorSen and the new chassis...
For this new Passat is based on the new Golf.

I'd be pissed at the 280hp if I had a B7 3.2
