The Passat tankead like whoa.

Between the exaggerated overhangs and cheap interior pieces (just sit in it and touch, feel, & use (not look)... you'll know what I mean) I'm not surprised. It's terribly overpriced and the reliability is horrid compared to the competition.

VW had the world in its hand and tanked it big time. and people rip on GM if they lose 5% sales.

Interesting to note though, the Passat wagon seems to have taken up the slack for the cancelled Jetta wagon.
