Volkswagen Passat
Because of its poor sales, Volkswagen has chosen to take the 3.6 4Motion sedan version of the Passat out of its line-up. Only the station wagon remains. So for 2009, changes concern body colours and a new wheel design for the Highline version. But, 2009 sees the introduction of the new Passat CC, an independent four-place model that should attract a whole new category of clients.
