Still not convinced that VW’s upcoming Passat Coupe is a “poor-man’s” Mercedes CLS? Then look no further than these images from “The Auto Channel” – especially the one where the spy photographer caught the Passat Coupe with minimum disguise undergoing cold weather testing alongside the Mercedes CLS. There are more design similarities between the CLS with the Passat Coupe than the CLS with the E-Class… -Continued after the jump
Volkswagen has already launched a teaser website for the Passat Coupe announcing that it will release further details in early 2008. From what we’ve heard, the luxury 4door sedan could make its worldwide debut as early as the Detroit Show in January, but this is something that we haven’t confirmed yet.
The Passat Coupe will be based on a revised version of the Passat platform and it will be offered with a variety of 4cylinder (all turbocharged) and V6 gasoline and diesel units. As an alternative in the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes E-Class & CLS, Audi A6 and Jaguar XF category, the Passat Coupe will be reasonably priced.
