You wish, Passat is regarded as a reliable, competently engineered middle-management lease rig while the BMW (you're obviously referring to the 3's) is positioned several classes above it in luxury, is considerably more dynamic and more a driving machine and sport sedan than the rather straight forward Passat.

The survey is flawed. If the Aurora is so hot, why is GM killing Oldsmobile?

Crow.. Seems the Audi TT beat out..even the new Z4..

Speaking of which.. Crow..Miata's have been getting stomped in south by those MR2 Spyders.. I don't like the idea of being classed with those things lol!!
