STUD or DUD: Is The All-New Volkswagen Passat Worthy Of YOUR Driveway? There's Just ONE Catch...

As with any Volkswagen Auto Group product, there's always a catch. This one may hurt Volkswagen consumers in the States though. That's because this here Passat is not U.S. bound.

This is the European Volkswagen Passat.

Though automakers, like Ford, have realized it is more cost effective and smart to offer a global product strategy, it seems the message has not reached VW quite yet. That's why the European market seems to get the cool stuff — cough, Scirocco, cough — and we get stiffed with the plain Jane hardware.

Details have not exactly been released on this Passat we won't be seeing on our shores; however, we'll keep you abreast of the latest details. Hopefully some of the cool stuff you see here trickles down in the U.S. bound products.

In the meantime, let us know your thoughts: is this European-only Passat a STUD or DUD? Would YOU put it in YOUR driveway?
