VW Passat 4-Door Coupe Spied In Clear View

Rumors have been flying for some time that Volkswagen would create a stylish 4-door “coupe” version of their Passat similar to the Mercedes CLS. Now uncovered in the U.S. southwest is a never seen before VW prototype which closely matches the description.

Judging by the polished and near production look of this prototype as well as lack of camouflage, masters of disguise, VW, seem to have managed to keep this prototype away from prying eyes during the early stages of its development. Usually, it is not until the end of a prototype's development that most of the full body camouflage is shed except for front and rear end coverings. Could we possibly have a Frankfurt surprise on our hands?

Posted over a year and a half ago, we stumbled across some renderings with an overall body shape which is strikingly similar to these spy photos. See for yourself: forums.nasioc.com

Looks Audi-ish to me... A6 copy ba yan?

Let me guess, Chinese designer?

Btw, why is everyone wants to build a 4 door coupe after Mercedes built its epic looking CLS65?

Whoa! That's a Passat?

A far cry from previous variants.

Is it just me or are sedans trying to copy each other with that Camry like front?

But then again, that's what makes them desirable..

Its a 4-door coupe based on the Passat platform, so people call it the Passat 4-door coupe, but I think it hasn't been confirmed what the final name will be.

The lower roofline makes the car look larger.
