Well, if this is the final design, my names on the order...very nice

I love the chrome grill...extending into the bumper..

I read somewhere they postponed the new Passat until 2005 (i.e. model year 2006!). Wonder if that still holds, the car has been around since 1997 and could use an update.

Heavily influenced by the Phaeton.

Looks like the Sales Reps are in for a treat!

Whether thats the car or not, I doubt it. VW aren't gonna replace the Passat for about 2 more years and I don't think they'd be that adventourous with the front grille. Even though it does look as sweet as....
