Volkswagen's new mid-size sedan (aka NMS) has been rendered by the folks at Irmaododecio.
Based on the official sketch that was released last week, the rendering gives us our best glimpse of VW's American Passat replacement. While the image is still kind of generic, it seems to accurately predict the styling direction for the new sedan.
As we have previously reported, the NMS is expected to be priced in the low $20,000 range which puts it in a more competitive segment than the $26,995 Passat. This effectively means VW is prepared to go head to head with segment leaders such as the $19,395 Toyota Camry and $21,055 Honda Accord.
Set to be built in Chattanooga, Tennessee in late 2011, Volkswagen is planning to sell at least 100,000 mid-size sedans a year (in the US).

perhaps VW should look to the Passat CC for inspiration when designing the mid size sedan
WAIT, I have a better cost saving idea VW, have Honda make NMS for you, a re-badged Accord, and since you have already perfected the formula (Routan with Chrysler), it shouldn't be a problem at all.
VW at least should take a look at the new forthcoming 2011 Hyundai Sonata that has taken a lot of inspiration from Audi A6, and CC, and come up with a great design.
