	Its true. The new Passat and Passat Wagon is one of the VWs that has
	the higher acceptance rates from the press in America and Europe as
	far as I remember. I was thinking to wait for the Jetta IV (Bora) which
	its final design is available on VWVortex Site (nice new pictures), but
	for the moment I have decided for a New Passat in Satin Silver. For
	the same price of a Jetta GLX VR6 here in Lima-Peru I have obtained the
	following Passat configuration:

	Passat V6 (Audi engine 193 Bhp)
	Sports leather seats (Highline-Alcantara)
	Original VW 16 inches alloy wheels
	Sunroof
	Air conditioning with Climatronic (computerized)
	Fog lights
	4 Airbags
	Alarm with remote system 
	Aluminium (instead of wood, in the dash and doors...looks sporty)

	I think its a good deal for the moment and I will think in the new
	Jetta IV when the 210 hp VR6 with 24 Valve and aluminium head is
	available.
