  • Official Passat B8 Spyshots / Sketches / Speculation Thread

    Revealed prior to launch (Sept-Oct) - Major leak by VW standards.

    FAW VW have slipped up, with these photos of the Magotan, what the Passat in its LWB guise is called in China.

    Looks ok... except maybe for the B7-style front end

    Fingers crossed they do an 'R' version (and release it in Australia).

      Nothing about that would make me inclined to buy one.....They've dropped the ball.

        Horses for courses. I think it looks great, and would happily get one at the end of my current lease. Truth be told I wouldn't have bought a Passat if they hadn't changed to the current (B7) styling.

          Agreed, styling is subjective.

                            We will be lucky to get 1/4 of those options. What I don't understand is there are plenty of car buyers who want a product with all the bells an whistles however VW refuse to give many options.

                            We just purchased the new 2014 Golf R, only 3 options available where UK and Germany have multiple options. Comparing the driver assist menu on the golf r and my 2012 passat makes me sad that we dont get all the cool stuff.
