2012 Volkswagen Passat plays to the masses - Scott Burgess, Detroit News

[k.mojo]

Pictures do not do this car any justice. Test drove both the SEL TDI and the SE gasser. Smooth ride and the interior beats out my jetta tdi. I pre-ordered mine last week. I got the TDI manual!!! Nice and basic. Should come with the 1st shipment to dealership sometime in September.

Sweet!! Was about to ask when the manuals were due in. Looks like every dealership got one base 2.5 auto and one top of the line DSG TDI as demos.

Wonder if they will offer a "factory delivery" option, as Tenn. is the next state over and would be cool to see the plant in person .
