Passat GT

I like where they're trying to go, but they have to drop that angry bumper. it's getting old

Great, another upmarket Volkswagen that no one asked for.

I like VW, but VAG in America really needs to get its shit together and position its shit more strategically.

Specifically, VW and Audi need to stop stepping on each other, and VW needs to drop the "premium" pretense that no one believes and strip some bloat out of its cars.

So basically like the new arteon?

VW has a niche market for performance cars at a decent price but when a fucking VW starts costing 45k+ I get worried.

I want them to go back to being economy cars so I can continue justifying buying them.

Their base model Jetta is super nice for the price but it is still more expensive than other cars in its class.

My current VW Beetle Fender Edition is really nice as well but the repairs are retarded when you consider they used to advertise the fact they were cheap to fix.

I like their designs for thr Golf GTI and Jetta GLI but I still believe that they should be careful of not stepping into audi's specialty range

>V6
>only 280 HP

Fucking dropped.

Would bumping it to 300 encroach in audi territory or something?

They did a 300hp Passat before.

>>17325086
In Europe they sell 2.0L 4-cyl with 280 PS

i personally could never buy a car whose name reminds me of - PISSANT

What does passat even mean

>Didn't know this was a thing
>curiosity gets ahold of me
>Wasn't sold in america

I mean I never thought I'd say this but I'm kinda sad I was cucked out of a Passat of all things.

They've done some pretty neat things with the Passat in the past. See also the VR6 Syncro models, or the Bentley-lite W8. Pic related.
