Trims & Specs < Passat < Models < Volkswagen of America

Just for a quick recap:
The TDI costs $26k not the $20k you claimed
The new Passat does not weigh 500lb less than the previous model.
Most of the components including the engine and transmission are Manufactured in Mexico or Europe. Final assembly point is in Tennessee.

Any other fun facts you want to share with us?

how ever you twist it , the final product is
assembled and manufactured in the USA by workers in USA
base price is 20k
yes there is 500 lbs less weight

i have actual VW information that you do not have

and
did i add
VW sales for the year so far are up 22% over this time last year

just returned a 2003 passat with AWM 1.8 turbo to the customer with the original engine and transmission and 273k miles ... how many 2003 korean imports are on the road with 273k miles ? .... 2 ? 3 ? less ?
