13: 55 I think the take rate for the V6 Camry was low because before the TRD model, you had to buy a 35, 000 MSRP XLE V6 when almost every other competitor allowed you to buy the upgraded engine at around 30, 000 MSRP. All of the major competitors are still offering performance engine options, so I think the market is still healthy enough. In terms of the Passat, VW is just letting it languish and getting whatever sales and profit they can get out of it until they eventually kill it.

I expect the Passat will be going into extinction soon, that is why VW put so little effort into this refresh. Its basically a less reliable Camry. In the future the Arteon will likely be their sole entry in this segment, as a sporty more luxurious car for those who have moved on from SUVs.

I mean, i like it. It just has this simple big elegant look, while being the perfect cheap, comfy, efficient and practical blend. Realiability concerns and the limitations of a trunk is my only problem with it.
If you want more premium or sporty get the Artion or an Audi i guess.

I d like to add a notorious feature of the newer longer Passat model in China market.
That Passat got the worst 25% crash score ever tested, with A-pillar bent by 90 degree, which is worse than many 10k models from Chinese makers! Shame on VW!

Meh, it's VW BS. Increased HP and transmission are minimal costs to add because they have already developed them. It's an easy software upgrade and transmission swap. VW continues to give Murikans decontented vehicles.

Even though I now drive an SUV. I loved my old Mazda 6i 5-door and I hope the sedan market slide bottoms out and stabilizes. There is still a market for the traditional sedan.
