    It is not standard on the highline AFAIK.
    Looking at the auto model
    Will have to look at the car tomorrow to see if it has it.

    Redbook

    Only mention of chassis is adaptive chassis control and it is listed as optional.
    if it is a 2010 build V6 Highline, then it will definitely have Adaptive Chassis Control/Dynamic Chassis Control, it became standard on MY09 updates when they changed to Highline Spec (chrome bars on the grill)

    P.s. Redbook is not always right!! like you are doing, look at the actual car.
    2010 MY10.5 R36 Wagon, Biscay Blue, RNS510, Dynaudio, Sunroof, towbar, Dynamic Chassis Control, No lazy back door
    2008 Audi Q7 4.2TDI, Radar Cruise, Lane Assist, Blind Spot Assist, Heated Seats Front & Rear, Alcantara Hood Lining, Wooden Gear knob, Nappa Leather, Plus all the usual V8TDI gear, like 760nm of Torque!

      we went down to look at it but it wasnt there. He said he can get the car but wouldnt say where it was. I assume its at another dealer and he wants the sale. I looked on carsales couldnt find it. I could ring around but cant be stuffed.

      He had a wagon there which had the chassis control.
      I asked him again about it and he told me its not on the car but I doubt he has even seen it himself.
      So he wants us to buy it sight unseen
      I hope it is on there as that is the main feature my old man wanted on the car.

      thanks

        I'm convinced that VW is trying to become the new Subaru:

        1. AWD and Turbo 4s are becoming de rigeur
        2. The Gti in white is the new WRX in blue.
        3. VW is getting into rallying (after Subaru abandoned the WRC/ARC mind...)
        4. A lot of VW owners used to own Subarus (present company included)
        5. New VWs are not necessarily more attractive than the older models ...

        OK, I am being a bit unkind perhaps but sorry, I don't like the look of the new Passat. I may change my mind in the metal. Then again I do own a CC http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/imag...s/rolleyes.png

            Thanks for that Phaeton. The VW website has also been updated with "Arriving at your local Volkswagen dealer on April 30". Not too enamoured with the front - here's hoping it looks better in the flesh.

                So we have no Kessy (still) and no automatic high beam as offered on European models. Why are these not even options ?

                  Saw a load of the new wagons on a truck on the Westgate bridge this morning. It's a 'handsome' looking car, but definitely conservative. VW really needs to shake off the conservatism with design. I guess they have to differentiate the design from Audi, but the Audi's are conservative in a far more stylish way!

                        Minisite for the new Passat: Passat | Volkswagen Australia

                        The response to the new Passat has been rather underwhelming on this Forum. Public comments on sites like Drive and Car Advice haven't been very positive either - mostly to do with the conservative styling. What's with brochures not being available from dealerships on the weekend (or the e-brochure)? It's not like they rushed to launch it and didn't get time to print out some info. I registered for info and so far have received nothing. Zilch. Terrible job from the marketing department so far.

                        For anyone looking for spec details, Ausmotive has it: AUSmotive.com » Volkswagen Passat – Australian pricing & specs

                            Yep, had a full on rant on their facebook... Very poor launch, no web, no print on the day... Plus the classic nfi dealer.

                            Have seem the brochure, quite dissapointed really with the limited options that is available in the UK brochure, such as the interior colours and the colour mdf.
