2006 VW Passat
That CEO of VW's agenda was to "UPSCALE" VW...they don't realize that he's killing both brands by doing this.
He doesn’t realize that majority of the population can only afford economy cars. He’s killing his base market by up scaling VW. The previous buyers are going to the Japanese brands now because the Japanese cars makers are sticking to what their good at. And that is making affordable and reliable cars.
HONDA has now surprised FORD as the number 3 car maker in Canada. I think US will be next for them.

Probably China
That's the new Jetta, you can tell by the squat look vs the new Passat's more elegant silhouette. And it's not the angle/perspective of the shot that's doing it, either. Also, the Passat uses BMW's so-called Hoffmeister kink in the rear window.
My prediction for VW for the next couple of months..
Phateom = Dead
Passat prices will have to go down since everybody is buyin gmore powerful Accords, Camerys; Altima and Maxima's which are less expensive.
Jetta prices will have to go down as well for the same reason as the Passat.
Prices of the SUV's have to go down for the same reasons as above.
VW just cannot match the Japanese brands. They will have to bring prices down since you can get so much more in the Japanesemakes..
