According to motortrend, this 2011 Passat is the replacement for the 2010 Passat. Except that it isn't. Let's try that again. In the U.S., the Passat will be replaced by a car codenamed New Midsize Sedan, to be built at VW's new plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. But over in Europe, what we have here is indeed the next in a seven-generation line of Passats.
Volkswagen decided that to challenge the Taurus, Accord and Camry in the U.S., it needed a car that bigger than the Passat and a better value. That's why America gets the New Midsize Sedan. It's a neat trick if VW can pull it off.
In Europe, compactness, high-speed refinement, and fuel economy are the priorities. Now free of the need to be all things to all continents, this new Passat has now become more of a European car than ever.
