Volkswagen Wolfsburg Edition Passat edition arrives

Volkswagen's special Wolfsburg Editions are nothing new to most VW enthusiasts. Typically featured on Jettas and the Golf/Rabbit, the designation usually signifies exclusive trim options and a couple nifty Wolfsburg Badges on the front fenders. But it is a bit rarer to see a Wolfsburg Passat, and that's exactly what has arrived at your local VW dealer.

Powered by Volkswagen's 200 horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder mill (mated to a six-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission), the Wolfsburg Edition Passat will also feature 17-inch wheels and a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, gearshift knob and boot. A six-disc CD changer, heated front seats, fog lamps, heated windshield washer nozzles, Sirius satellite radio, and a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat are also included. And, yes, Wolfsburg Edition plaques will be affixed to the two front fenders.....

The Passat is quite luxurious for a "VW" badging.

And that is part of the problem. VW stretches way up near Audi territory at times which is hurting them badly in North America.

Obviously any one that knows cars knows that the Passat and the A6 share nothing. Looks to be very nicely equipped for the price.

Isn't a Loaded Passat 4motion around $40k. Why buy the Passat - buy a luxury branded car from Audi.

Looks like a normal Passat to me. Not to say that's a bad thing, but you can get better rims on a normal 3.6 4Motion.

Not worth it for a four cylinder.
