There have been a lot of "pictures" of the B6 Passat but they are all computer generated drawings. I'll wait until I can see a real picture before I start looking for my check book.
Am i the only person that feels if VW does this my next car will be an Audi or BMW....
I have heard about the transverse engine news.. Not happy about it, i dont think it will be an easier to service. My Jetta VR6 seem no easier then my current V6. And with this move they will be dumping the current 4 Motion setup of permanent AWD to only AWD when there is slippage…
but about them dumping the four link front suspension is new to me.. but i think it will be a BAD move in terms of how the car feels. I think they should make the car have a rear fully independent suspension on all there cars.. Make the ride better. Trust me, when they gave me a FWD V6 as a loner when my 4 Motion was in the shop, I could tell the difference.
If you actual think about it, its not reliable that we need.. its better support. If you want your car to drive like a Honda, then you will get the reliability of a Honda. BMW and MB have there share of problems, they just know how to deal with them.. VW/Audi does not.
the rear end trunk area is A4-ish, and the front is as ugly as ever...
the only visual improvement I see is the painted skirt all around and the turn signal side mirrors. The headlights are ugly, and so is that grill. They tried to be a bit different and "outstanding" with that grill, but its just not doing it for me.
I love it--it's beautiful. :bow: If it comes out looking like that, I'll definitely get one instead of an A4......in that same color too if they have it.
BTW...VW should produce the wheels that are on that Passat! I think they're badass; I'd definitely get a set tomorrow if I could!! :bow:
We probably will see some changes to the car in the picture but one thing we are most likely TO see is the gray area around the grill and down into the bumper. Audi is doing that exact thing only even more pronounced with their next generation A6; it's a thowback to the original front end look of Audis when they first came out..sort of retro or something.
It's just a big Jetta . VW is pulling the same hype that U.S. companies pulled years ago - create a name and then cheapen it . My next car will NOT be a VW . :crazy:
Id have to agree with you both, the b5.5 is nice too, but all the crome triming does not do much for me at all. . . . .
