    Hmm...if this is like the New Audi A6, ie. no handbrake, then this is an auto-only vehicle right?

    Good.

    Then there won't be a need to add a stick-shift option if it is going for the footbrake mechanism.

    The Passat uses an electronic "push button" parking brake. Press to activate the parking brake, to release the parking brake step on the brake pedal and press the button.

    The all-new Passat is also available with a 6-speed M/T.

    Parking brake button is on the extreme left of the dashboard(left side of the rotary light switch).
    For RHD models parkign brake button is on the extreme right side of the dashboard.

    any news on who will be the new VW distributor here? I was talking to our contact in PGA and was joking around. I told him "Kunin nyo na yung VW, kayang kaya nyo naman eh heheheh" then he laughed but he didnt answer me, hehehe.

    Well PGA Cars did save Audi from Auto Prominence Corp's hands.
    Maybe the same could be done with VW.

    Besides I guess it would make sense if one distributor(PGA Cars) handled both VW Group brands(Audi and VW) in the RP.

    I don't think the guys at PGA Cars will handle VW dahil sa hirap nitong ibenta at mas ok kung Lambo nalang ang kunin nila.

    alam nyo ba dati ang APC ang benta sa VW Lupo ay 815K!!!!! way back 2000!

    tapos ang Passat almost the same price as the Audi A4!!!

    no wonder almost non-existent sila dito sa RP market.

    True... The VW Lupo which is VW's baby Picanto-size citycar was priced at an unbeleiveable P815K! by APC, the same price as the 2000 Opel Astra which many thought was very expensive for its segment.

    Lambo? The only people who could afford a Lambo here probably own one already...
    APC just sold the wrong VW models here and at extremely high prices!

    The Chinese-spec Passat now is based on the platform mate of the previous Passat (B5), the Škoda Superb, technically its still the same old car underneath the skin.
    But I guess that wouldn't sell well either because with the internet, people who plan to buy one would probably find out that there is a "real" all-new Passat.

    Here's a larger photo of the Chinese-spec VW Passat(Passat Lingyu) posted earlier.


    Škoda Superb


    Škoda Auto is Czech automobile manufacturer that became part of the VW Group in 1991.
    The B5 platform used by the previous gen VW Passat/ Shanghai VW Passat/ 2005 Shanghai VW Lingyu/ Škoda Superb was first used in the 1995 Audi A4.
