R36...pre-ordered!!!

[OilBurna]

I'm happy to baby sit for you Steve hehehe

I have had a few offers of that...

It's interesting to see that the R36 isn't expected to hit the UK until "summer 08" so I guess we won't be too far behind. It'll be interesting to see what Fifth Gear and Top Gear make of it.

Also, I had a quick look at the VW website for information about this on regular Passat wagons, but couldn't find anything. On Dad's Q7 there is a cargo blind thing that you can roll back and use to cover cargo that doesn't exceed a certain height. Is this available for the Passat? I regularly (OK, they haven't left my Commodore wagon for months) carry golf clubs around. It'd be good if I could keep them in the car but cover them up.

Anyone know?

Funny you should ask ... Jeremy Clarkson's summary of the R36 was:

"It's a very strange beast ... a bit like your Granny saying ... Have another piece of cake, Vicar ... it's got cocaine in it."

Yeah, that clip is great

Steve all regular Passat Wagons have a luggage blind and also cargo net as std.

Love the cargo net feature. Would be particularly useful to keep the dog safely in the cargo area during excessive launch/braking lololol.

soryr my bad its not actually a cargo net ie to restrain luggage, its more like a barrier between the load area and passenger area but its a net that pulls up from behind the rear set and hooks into the roof. Don't know if it would stop heavy items like a metal one. Still a useful feature though, along with the cargo blind. There are also tie down hooks in the cargo area as well.
