Well, if it is I think it’s still looking great. Is it already on market production? I would really love to have a car like this, so ideal as a family van.
 Aesthetically, the design of the Golf Twist is kind of simple. I don’t think that it has the same aggressive look with the traditional Golf. However, the engine performance of the car is quite amazing plus its fuel efficient.
 Because if they Wagon-ify this and bring back the 2.0T gas engine, I will definitely order one up if that’s the case.
 It’s no Renault Espace but looks decent enough. I’m sure this will sell well in Euro land, minivans always do.
 That’s a large carrying capacity. If only it can be more reliable. I was in the market for a regular CTS-V when I learn about all the reliability issue. A wagon makes it even more tempting due to a wagon’s utility. But with all the problems...I would still hold off.
 You’ve obviously never driven a small diesel engine; I’m driving a 1.5 with no of the aids of this Passat and I’m not managing at all the engine. And I get 5,5l in city traffic and 4.1l outside the city! I had once tried to respect all the speed limits taking it easy on the engine also and for 200 km of combined cycle I got 3,7l. I don’t see why an all new Passat with a new engine and all the help to reduce consumption shouldn’t have that average. I reckon it will do with a not so boring driving method easily 4,5l in combined city/highway traffic.
 Volkswagen needs to give their designers a raise! I think the latest versions of all their cars are improvements over preceding models and top notch. I still cant stop staring at CC’s when I see them out in the real world
 It is pretty nice looking for a minivan! If VW could sell it for the mid 20’s then I think it would do as good or better then the current VW minivan based on the dodge caravan. Minivan’s will never be a huge seller no more with all these nice SUV from ford, Hyundai, KIA, GM , and Nissan
