layabout, you know dip squat nothing about current VWs. The Tiguan flat rocks. Wait until the TDI 4-Motion model arrives.
It is coming. Get ready. While the US auto industry is wallowing in "help us" mode, screw 'em. They made record profits selling SUVs and put zip, nada, nothing into R&D. My they rot in peace.
@bmwloco: I worked in the VW/Audi group for four years & i'm still in the motor trade & in touch with contacts at my previous employer. And living in Europe i got to deal with more models than are currently on sale in America,so to correct you,it's you that knows "dip squat" about current VW's.
@bmwloco: That wasn,t meant to come across as negative towards yourself,if you like them then fill ya boots,just pointing out they still have reliability issues that cost a small fortune in repair costs.
One of my neighbours just px'd his Golf TeDIous for a Tiguan,again the TeDIous model & has had non stop problems with it,he regrets buying it just like most VW owners & his perception of its image is far more important,even though it sounds like a van.
@c0de: Yeah, the Allroad has a pneumatic push-button suspension that will fit the Passat (with some work and $$), but they're VERY failure-prone and expensive to diagnose and fix.
If I could just find some coilovers with a raised/neutral/lowered setting...seems like most people want low/lower/lowest.
312 hp in a Tiguan? If it looks anything like that sketch, it might just dethrone the Raptor as the SEMA vehicle I'd most like to own. (or at least thrash the hell out of)

My wife is about to get a Passat 4mo wagon and I'm seriously thinking of ways to jack it up like an Audi Allroad or Volvo XC70. Just because.
