Next Gen VW Passat Mule Spied again at Nurburgring

First of all, no way that paint is going to happen, secondly, wouldn't it just become illegal? What if cops are looking for the car? It would be ALOT harder, and i know that may be good for all of us lol but i can't see it ever happening.

maybe that is a new phaeton test mule?

The colour thing would just be an epic fail. I mean if a criminal has stolen one of these, they remove the number plate and change the colour, then the bad guys will score. Not gonna happen Vdub.... But I do like the powerful engines. Car size is a tad too large, but still OK.

This is getting ridiculous, they should be able to improve the design without lengthening.

this is the same stuff like now ((((

more a 5-serious rival now? i got a feeling that it might based on the current A6 which is a stretched passat chassis.. which is a stretched golf chassis. hmm

The interior of this mule is definitely not the Passat interior, looks more like the Golf VI.

Many expect a 3.0-liter V6 petrol model producing 280 horsepower, but some expect to see a large diesel version that produces about 300 hp, and some expect no V6 at all, because it doesn't sell good. It would be good to see the passat based on the a4, a shorter front overhang, the engine placed lenghtwise rather than withwise. Perhaps vw thinks that it makes their cars too sporty, but the could still give it soft suspetion than. And what about the phaeton? Is it still comming and based an the a6? If that's a YES, than why should vw make this car even bigger than it is? Make it lighter, not bigger. Just juse the a4 platform with softer suspention, and keep that v6 fsi 3.2 or 3.6 in the lineup!

Good to see speculation,would-be car designers and armchair engineers are alive and well !! I've observed constant complaints that VW Passat/Audi A4/A6 dont offer up ample rear passenger leg room so perhaps this is being addressed for future models ? Probably the biggest joke is the BMW 3 Series which almost ignore the need for rear passenger leg room yet we get bombarded with constant diatribe from journo's and BMW is what totally brilliant cars these are (at a price I add)and purported to be what every passenger car should aspire to. Yeah right !
