what do you guys think?

then again, I like the new design language between mk7 golfs/jetta/passat etc.. much better than mk6 IMO.

Looks like a 4:3 picture has been stretched to 16:9

Bunka · 13 Aug 2014 at 16:19

Actually doesn't look that bad!

rodenal · 13 Aug 2014 at 16:28

Not for me

Front looks like a Phaeton.
I'm sure it'll be just as bland and boring to drive as the current Passhat.
Once rented a 1.6 dies...... *snore*

Quite liked the looks of the B6 passats (biased as I owned one) which I think were based on the MK5 golfs/jettas etc. The Mk6 versions (face lifted B6?) looked very dull but these new MK7's look pretty nice.

Doesn't look too bad. And with a 2.0 Bi-Turbo diesel version with 240 PS, and 4motion, should be pretty decent to drive. Bet it only does 35 mpg though, in real life, if that.

It's still a passat at the end of the day but they've sure been busy sprinkling glitter and getting the elbow grease in on that proverbial turd.

Nicer, but for me its still far off a 3 series a4 or c class in the looks department

Indeed, or the Insignia.

Jano · 13 Aug 2014 at 16:46

Looks exactly the same as an A4 to me...

No thanks, looks like it's falling asleep.

Housey · 13 Aug 2014 at 17:05

Nice looking car, but if it drives like the previous ones it will be blandtastic.

lordrobs · 13 Aug 2014 at 17:23

Prefer the look of the current model.

K.C. Leblanc · 13 Aug 2014 at 17:32

I think VAG might be the first car producer to make 100 different models, which all look the same.

-Ad- · 13 Aug 2014 at 17:39

I've just everywhere!

That's stunning, going to try and place a pre-order on Friday as soon as I'm back in the country.

Wow, my heart is truly racing right now, might need to go 'Wuuuu-Zaaaaa' to calm myself down.

I liked the look of the B6 and B6.5 but the interior was boring and utilitarian - this one looks up to date.

The.... insignia? Horrible looking thing imo.
