2015 Volkswagen Passat

This new product doesn’t bring any surprising styling from a vehicle in a segment not known for bold designs. Though it gets an impressive 42 miles per gallon in fuel economy, that factor alone is unlikely to sell the vehicle. There’s nothing to new capture one’s attention, and it could easily blend in with previous model year Passats.
