    I heard something about a wiperless windscreen?
    How would it work?

      $3 bottle of rain-x.................


      More realistically they would just use some hydrophobic nano-particles and integrate them into the glass so it beads the water and the water droplets run off at speed.

        "Although the R36 is hugely popular in Australia it has not found the same popularity overseas and Volkswagen has not confirmed if it will build an R version of the new Passat."

        What a shame...

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

                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.
                  had a passat tdi. now mb c class.

                    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.

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