Had a good look at the motor show today.
First 2 improvements I noticed were the B-pillars trim is shiny.
All the MK5 s look faded,and the vent on the upper centre of the dash has been removed.
This caused frustrating rattles in a lot of cars,I am told...
The Matte Black on the B-Pillar of Mk 5s and B6 Passats is to hide fingerprints as people often grab that part of the car when getting out.
I think it's shiny on Mk5 R32 - looks great when its clean.
08 Golf GT Sport TDI - Blue Graphite, Manual
13 Passat 118 TSI - White
Saw a black Mark VI heading up Glen Osmond Road this morning... funnily enough I didn't see any at the Solitaire service joint.
R36 =
Looked at a couple Mk6 on Monday at Solataire, not that impressed.
I'm probably biased as I'm new to my Mk5, but the exterior changes to the Mk6 are not that nice. I did like the look of the interior.

Took delivery 17 June 2011- Passat CC V6 FSI Candy White
Sat Nav, Reversing Camera, Adaptive Cruise, Walnut & Lighting Pack
From side on it almost looks like a '90s Dahatsu Charade (esp the tail lights)
Doesn't look as nice or as distinctive as the MK5 in my view.![]()
