Default 2006 Official Passat Pics

Sorry they are so big... I just didn't want to shrink them down and lose the quality. Enjoy

Please don't hotlink these from my ftp - they're kind of big and it will eat up my bandwidth, thanks.

That's tight as hell. I would have definitely hit this thing if it were out when I was car shopping.

It looks too good for a VW. Makes Audi kinda "eh" now.

Couldn't agree more........it's a smaller carbon copy of the Phaeton......let's just hope VW makes it at least in the realm of being affordable. The larger Phaeton is a decent looking large luxury car to be sure......just at the $50,000 range, not the price they want for it. It's no wonder they are hardly selling any of them.
