Nope I think too late in model cycle or it will debut later at another show

that passat has the old b6 passat dash with woodgrain peices added, they all look, the scale of the front to the size of the car is all completely wrong and the interiors are too blingy
and at second glance the whole passat is just an old b6 model with new front and rear, looks horrible

I think that the Passat looks good from the front and the side,but the interior is very overdone,and the rear looks completely NOT right for a VW.
The Sagitar concept car was rumoured to be at the show,as the NEW 2010/11 model.
Did not make it there,should be at a later show .

I can't say any of those (except the Polo) are very flattering to the Vee Dub brand...

That isn't the Jetta 6

New Bora is a China only model which shares its platform with the Lavida.

Both were co-developed with each joint venture building upon the new old Mk4 chassis

Interesting pics, but they show a complete lack of imagination. If you're looking for a car that screams 'generic sedan!' from the side, that Passat is the car for you. I'll have the CC.
