Even the VW Passat has a 3.6 l engine now

stressdoc · 12-01-2005, 10:12 PM

Not that I would buy one, but...

New VW Passat: 3.6 litres, 0-60 in 5.9
Even the Honda accord goes 0-60 in 6.1 sec now.

Where is the 335i?

ABR · 12-01-2005, 10:23 PM

And what will we bragging about when we will reach 0-60 in 0.0 sec?

shimshimhada · 12-01-2005, 10:53 PM

Estimated at 3.4s, I hear it's going to be really light and really quick.

ward · 12-01-2005, 11:22 PM

yeah and the eclipse can be had with a 3.8 liter motor

who gives a crap about displacement?
it's about building a good balanced car

the Passat has to make that kinda power to make up for the fact that it's:

a) heinous
b) overpriced
c) a bad idea in it's newest incarnation
d) failing at sales (from what I've heard, but I could be wrong)

displacement does not solve all problems

Who cares if it has a 3.6 liter engine? I think it's ugly as sin - especially the new ones that just came out. EWWW

Crazy Bimmer · 12-02-2005, 10:30 AM

Who cares, its still FWD!

what do you want to drive so fast anyway ?

don't you want people to be able to see you driving by and they go :

"OMG, look at that cool car !"

Nope, AWD. Does VW call their AWD "4motion" also in US? I think that name is weird.

Robin_NL · 12-02-2005, 01:39 PM

If 3.6 Passat then R36 Golf will replace R32 or what

haven't seen the 3.6 Passat in EU yet.

BMW0 · 12-02-2005, 02:44 PM

Passat, fwd, ugly, and the list keeps getting worse...

Yes its 4motion which is heavier than the fwd version. Meaning it cant do 5.9 0-60. :rocks:
