Wolfsburg, Germany - Len Hunt, the ebullient head of Volkswagen in North America, says that the new Passat is the first car to show the company's future direction in the United States. "VW is affordable German engineering, fun to drive, and distinctive European styling," he says. With VW's sales tanking in the first six months of the year, the Passat and the Jetta have to succeed. The new Jetta is a good car, but it suffers from bland styling and was introduced with its least appealing powertrain-a mistake that VW won't repeat, says Hunt, now that Wolfgang Bernhard is VW's product supremo. VW already has introduced the Passat in 2.0T form with a base price of $23,565, while the 3.6L goes on sale this month at $30,565. We went to Germany to drive the 3.6, which uses a VR6 engine that has a narrow 10.6-degree included angle and cylinder banks staggered relative to each other. The engine makes 280 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, which would put the front tires under duress without the standard stability control system. The VR6 is mated to a six-speed manu-matic transmission, driving either the front or all four wheels. The new Passat is an imposing car that's bigger inside and out than the outgoing version. It's three inches longer and three inches wider and has 2.4 inches additional rear legroom. It isn't quite as beautifully wrought inside as the old car, because there is hard plastic evidence of cost-cutting measures. Still, the fit and finish are in line with the best Japanese makers and more attractively designed to boot. The 3.6L V6 comes well equipped, with front, side, and side curtain air bags, stability control, and active front headrests as standard. A luxury package adds leather,dual-zone climate control, and heated front seats; a sport package offers sport seats, steering-wheel shift buttons, and a lowered and stiffened suspension. Stand-alone options include a navigation system.  On the road, the engine sounds great and produces enough power for a claimed 0-to-60-mph time of 6.6 seconds. The car feels much more coherent than the old one, with a very stiff structure, excellent steering, and fully house-trained front-wheel-drive manners. On the optional eighteen-inch wheels and tires, the ride is stiff over expansion joints, but the trade-off is well-controlled body motions. The Passat 3.6L V6 is really fine, although it's admirable rather than exciting to drive. And while a well-equipped car undercuts an Audi A6 3.2, it is quite pricey compared with sportier Japanese cars such as the Acura TL and the Infiniti G35. Then again, the V-6 model is expected to account for just 25 percent of Passat sales, and on this evidence, it looks more like a bargain luxury car than an expensive family sedan.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand

Wed, Jun 3 2020

Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
