Any VW at over 200k in malaysia will find the going tough, the vw badge just doesnt have enough 'snob' appeal that people want in a car at those prices. i still doubt VW’s ability to make any sort of dent in the sales of bmw, mercedes and audi. their sales have been pretty poor so far, with the majority of cars sold being Gti’s.

What it lacks in driving dynamics, it will compensate with it's beautiful shape, build quality,and reliability.If it is to be priced at the ordinary Passat price, then it will also be cheaper than the other three. Hopefully VW Malaysia is smart enough to take advantage of the situation. If this is brought into Malaysia, it will give the 3 series , the C class and Audi A4 a run for their money.

A 2.4L Camry costs around 170K vs Passat at around 230K due to CBU taxes. In the other countries the cars are considered rivals in price and size. In Malaysia the camry would make more sense financially but is becoming such a common sight. the passat would be more noticeable and way more powerful since it uses the golf GTi engine.

This is one Passat I don't mind owning. Lots of reviewers have accused them of copying the CLS but other than the rear C section, the rest looks rather unique.
