The response was underwhelming when Volkswagen unveiled its eagerly awaited all-new U.S.-built Passat midsize sedan at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January.

Journalists accustomed to expensive German engineering and scintillating design expected to be dazzled by the most important new vehicle to arrive from Wolfsburg since the New Beetle in 1998.
 

Instead, they got a car that is more vanilla than chocolate. Decadent German strudel it’s not. The new Passat is not drop-dead gorgeous, but neither is it devoid of character.

And that’s exactly where Germany’s No.1 auto maker wants to be with the Passat.
