Wow, that's a fine looking wagon!  Better than the sedan in my opinion. B)  

BMWDave

Thats one nice interior!

It is better than the sedan...I agree with you.

I agree, it does look better than the sedan. But, I am still a bit worried about the new Passat, early reviews have indicated that it is soft, boring, and quiet. In other words: a less reliable Camry.

Looks better than the damn sedan.

VW, what have you done?

In most cases I like a lot of wood, and for the most part it isn't bad, but the wood around the guages doesn't look quite right due to the curve. If they did a standard instrument binnacle instead it would look much better imho.

These colors and trim look nicer in my opinion.

I definitely agree.  

giant_mtb

I agree as well.  I prefer darker interiors...but a very luxurious light-colored one is a good thing as well.

BMWDave

Hell, they all look great!

I also prefer dark colors (though black is typically a bit too dark for my tastes, I prefer either dark brown or dark gray).

It's like a tasty candy in an ugly metal wrapper.

IMO, I think its your average candy bar in a waxy cheap plastic cover.  Except its metal in this case, as you stated.

Edit: wait, I said it wrong, its an average candy bar in a pretty silk wrapper. There you go!

Certainly attractive from the outside, and while I like the general style of the interior, I've never liked light-colored wood trim, and there's just too much of it.

Burger King has free DSL?  :blink:

They don't here in Ohio, that's for sure.

That is one good looking wagon.  I'd prefer a slightly shorter rear overhang, but other than that, looks great.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

I love the styling, much better looking than the sedan, IMO. That interior looks like it came from an Audi.
