The new Car and Driver has a comparison test of 10 family sedans
costing around $25K. The Passat GLX came out on top followed by the
Accord EX , Olds Intrigue GL, Camry LE, Intrepid ES, Maxima SE, Subaru
Legacy GT Limited, Mazda 626ES, Ford Taurus SE and the Bonneville SE
in that order. Looks like VW has another hit on their hands besides
the Beetle.
