Default Look. Its a Passat with a .......

<center><img src="http://www.vwvortex.com/news/06_01/06_21/interior3.jpg"></center><p>Saw this article on VWVortex. Follow link to see VW's entrance into the Luxury Market with their W8 Passat. I like it. Now I wonder if Audi is going to put the same engine in the A4 and call it the S4. Ohh wait that will take away market from the A6 2.7T and 4.2 :-P None the less it was an interesting thought.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vwvortex.com/news/index_W8passat1.html">Passat W8</a></li></ul>

Default Its' nice but

but IMO, not nice enought to compete in the market VW is targeting it with. When they come out w/a redesign that may be a different story though.

A little to bland for my taste that's all.

Default The VW dealers I know don't have a clue how to market a $35K+ car!

This is not your mother's Neu Beetle!

I like it, but doesn't this mean that Audi and VW are going to compete against eachother even more?

Default Passat

Drove a 2000 A6, drove a 2000 Passat GLX --
bought the GLX.

Audi had better interior and overall fit/finish- but not enough to justify the price difference.

I'm extremely happy w/ our Passat.
