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

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.

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.

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

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.

The Audi Passat Wagon is looking good.:D Seriously though, Audis and VWs are looking more alike than ever.

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