Eight debuts are kind of a big deal. Well, six of them are BlueMotion diesel models, but the Tiguan will be an all-new offering and a hinted-at prototype referred to as "City Expert" from this Australian VW press release alludes to a concept car.
what, praytell, would be the point of a passat coupe?
Not really sure, which is why I'm interested in the "primier" or some official info from VW. VOA apparently recently announced to dealers that it would be coming to the US during '08; Frankfurt had been rumored as the venue of introduction.
I think the "point" would be 4-door Passat, but with more aggressive performance and styling, including a slightly modified body shape. I personally hope it means the return of a nicely appointed Passat with a stick, but I'm not holding my breath.
Yet MORE gas sucking SUV's....25 years no Scirocco.
The feeling of immortality extends right up to the moment of impact. Every 10% weight reduction equates to 7% fuel mileage gain. Priuses are ECONOMY cars for people who can't add.....
The Tiguan is far from a gas sucking SUV. It probalby has some of the most fuel efficient engines available. Hoping that the other VWs in Euorpe get the new common rail diesels as those should get the same fuel economy as the Bluemotion ones without any gimmicks.

This place is is insane - the biggest complaint I hear in the Car Lounge is that VW's are too expensive when loaded up with options and yet when they want to decontent and lower the price, the complaints get even louder. You can't have it both ways.
RE: Rabbit TDI <-- this is a Europe show - they already have diesel Golfs.
RE: Scirocco v. "Gas sucking" SUV <--- the bluemotion version will probably equal or beat the mileage of the old Scirocco. Oh snap.
RE: Passat Coupe <--- probably a reasonable market they are missing out on - considering sales of the Solara, Accord Coupe, upcoming Altima Coupe etc. A sleek and sexy hidden 4-door design would be interesting.
RE: Facelifted Golf/Rabbit <-- Should be coming sometime soon...rumour is the MkVI will be a refreshed MkV rather than a wholey new chassis etc.
VW's ship is still zig-zagging towards North America...unsure if they're going to land or not...

I agree. Let's "GRRR" in unison!
My 356 has more miles on it than pretty much any ten Ferraris combined, granted I have only put on about .3 of those 250k+, and they have all been from pushing it in and out of the garage.
