New Passat debuts (blaaaaand)
Here's a first look at the redesigned Passat. At first blush, I find it extremely plain and boring. All rectangular headlights, upper grille, lower grille, and bumper, excessive front overhang, ordinary greenhouse, plain, boring taillight shapes, 80's rear license plate cutout, and from what appears in the photos, the same dash we've all seen for the past 5-6 years. What a shame VW couldn't make this car stand out, like the popular 1998 model did. VW's new styling is a total reverse of everything it tried pushing for the last 15 years. *thumbs down*

Considering that it needs to compete with cheaper (and boring) cars like the Camry, Altima, and Sonata; the Passat can dumb it down a little (in fact, it can dumb it down a lot).
The current Passat base price is $27k. That's a lot of money in this category. The Passat needs to cut $5k off that list price, minimum...
