Has anyone own or seen the new Passat in beige interior?

Yeah... agreed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Thanks, that's great! I didn't want the beige carpets. Just the seats and bit of trim is enough - I think that combination is just perfect. The hood lining is a non really, as long as it's not blue or red!

As for the bland interior styling, it's the one thing that was the deal maker for me buying it over the competitors. I love the minimalist open look. It gives the interior such an incredible spaciousness that I cannot find in any other car today. And, it reeks of function with form - particularly because the ergonomics are so good. Whoever is responsible for the interior design needs to be applauded. It reminds me of early (c.1969) 280SE benz's. They had that same 'space'. TBH, I'm bored with sedans trying to be sports cars with their interiors where we seem to have to be totally cocooned and cramped. The passat will provide that spaciousness that has been lost in cars today. Honestly, I think VW have done an exceptional job with this passat (and I've never even owned one before! - a passat that is).
