2011 VW Passat Sedan In Paris Auto Show Preview
See 2011 VW Passat Sedan In Paris Auto Show Preview, Full Specification Despite an ongoing feud with Porsche over who actually owns the company, Volkswagen AGs management is promising the very latest engine technology and sleek new sheetmetal for a new car it is planning to build in the U.S. Based on the Passat�s architecture, but with its own unique interior and exterior looks, the new sedan will compete for the heart of the mid-size sedan market now ruled by the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. Although the current Passat architecture already underpins a stylish spinoff in the 2009 Passat CC, the new vehicle will reportedly not replace the Passat, leaving the family with three vehicles squeezed onto one platform.,
