The new 2012 Passat: A ‘top-flight sport sedan’


Volkswagen’s new Chattanooga-made Passat will be a first-in-its class sedan featuring German engineering but targeted at American motorists, according to the automaker.

The car is the biggest Passat that VW has ever made, has the most rear legroom in its segment and more cupholders, along with premium features and handling characteristics, VW officials says.
