New 2011 Passat Unveiled

Not liking the rear of the Sedan. Looks crap.
The Wagon rear is alright though.

For the ultimate test. Who manufactures this car?

Honda/Nissan/VW - one factory three badges. There is too much duplication and wasting of recources in the car industry!

well after our passat got written off we considered waiting for the new model ( briefly i must admit- plus we wanted a wagon: even longer wait)

given how the front looks i'm glad we didn't.

i prefer the look of the old one at the front.

maybe in the flesh it will be a different story. hope so for VW's sake.

They should take Walter da Silva out on a row boat to the middle of a lake somewhere and quietly get rid of him. His designs are killing the looks of the VWs.

Well, the Passat is essentially a Camry/Accord model made by Volkswagen. Just as a Golf/A3 is a Corolla with VW/Audi badge. So is it any surprise the Passat looks the way it does?

The new Passat looks good, but, yes it is conservative. It always has been, and always will be. This model is perhaps a little disappointing in its looks, but it's not bad enough that I wouldn't consider buying one if I had a need for a larger car. The model it replaces was hardly an avant garde design, either.

The Scirocco is probably the only current model in Volkswagen's line up that dares to push the envelope a bit.

Still prefer the old Passat. IMO.

The current Passat looks WAY better than this.........

It's certainly an evolution, not a revolution...
