Volkswagen’s Passat Coupe Spied Again
Volkswagen’s stylish new 4-door coupé has been spotted again by our spy photographers, following our earlier spy shots of the vehicle two months ago. Since the introduction of Mercedes-Benz’s CLS, four-door coupés have been all the rage, helping makers move upmarket while retaining sports car soul. And this is Volkswagen’s effort spotted during recent hot weather testing in the US - ahead of its Geneva Motor Show debut in March.

The final shape is still disguised, albeit thinly, although the front and rear ends remain under heavy wraps. Our computer-generated artist impression does however reveal the sleek new four-door’s potential looks - poised but effortlessly dynamic.

A choice of two engines will initially be offered, one being planted in the standard model and the second offered in a sportier version. A 1.8-litre turbocharged TSI engine, capable of producing 160 hp, will be used for the standard version, while a 300 hp R36 model featuring VW’s 4-motion four wheel drive technology will top the initial line-up. Further engines will be introduced next Autumn.

Does the coupe like styling make it easier or more difficult to get out of in case of a fire?

midengine, the last I remember right it was the Audi R8 that got caught on fire not once but twice.

Okay, but that was more due to driver error than anything else, if I remember correctly. You have said yourself that you love the R8- why bash it?

Wow, that is a very boring design. No better than prior generation Tauruses (or is that Tauri?). Shame on VW.
