And now, the 2010 Volkswagen Passat, the car for the people who take special pride in being the only one on the block with German engineering, European styling, and a stout sense of individualism. Uniquely bred and spec'd on Germany's legendary Nürburgring, the Passat boasts features and engineering found in few other autos around the world. A Top Safety Pick* with top luxury features. ** It's what the people want.

The Passat comes with a 200hp, 4-cylinder, 2.0L TSI engine that apportions just the right amount of power off the line as it does in motion. It's sporty efficient. And efficiently sporty. It comes standard with the race-inspired 6-speed DSG® transmission-the hallmark 2-clutch system that shifts gears quicker than you can say "whoa." TSI direct-injection technology also makes the Passat ultra-efficient by aiding in fuel economy, emissions control, and responsiveness, all at the same time. Pumping fuel directly into the combustion chamber equals less waste and less lag time. That means lower emissions, higher MPG, and more power. *** It's a win, win, win scenario.

The Passat comes standard with 40 safety features that make up the Prevent and Preserve Safety System. The features work in harmony to both help you avoid a crash, and protect you if a crash is unavoidable. And we are constantly updating it, because when it comes to safety, there's always room for improvement. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration mandates that electronic stability control be included on all vehicles by 2012. So we figured we'd get a head start by making ESP (Electronic Stabilization Program) standard on every 2010 Volkswagen. It helps the driver stay the intended course by detecting slick and slippery road conditions, and kicking in corrective forces. ESP is most effective when the driver is taking evasive action during sudden maneuvers, like when avoiding a crash.

The Passat comfortably surrounds its driver and 4 passengers with some of the finest interior materials and amenities you can find, all at a price that'll make you feel like you got away with something. The 12-way power seat positions the driver perfectly for the road ahead. There's also an MP3 AUX-in jack, a rocksome touch screen Premium VIII radio, an introductory 6-month SIRIUS® Satellite Radio subscription, and 3 power outlets to keep all your gadgetry properly juiced.  Control is at your fingertips with a multi-function steering wheel to control your music and optional navigation system. For rainy days, an umbrella holder, as well as ultimate connectivity with standard Bluetooth® technology. For sunny days, a sunroof. For leftover sushi days, an air-conditioned glovebox. Plus push-start ignition, 60/40 split rear seats, and a driver's side glovebox. Which are all useful, no matter what day it is.

Owning a Passat is a rare opportunity. They're special like that. And to further ensure you never see another Passat on the road quite like yours, we're proud to offer options to make your Passat even more you.  A variety of roof rack options let you carry just about anything you can imagine up top. Start
with the Base Carrier Bars, and then add on the Kayak Rack, Barracuda® Bike Holder, Ski/Snowboard Rack Deluxe, or even the Fork Mount Bike Holder.*****  And upgrade your exterior with optional 18" Budapest wheels, 17" accessory Akiros wheels, or 18" Velos wheels in Silver or striking Titanium.  You can even drop your profile and boost your sportiness with sport springs and a body kit. Or show off your Passat's dark side with the Hi-Def body kit. Then there's the icing on the strudel: dual exhaust tips that let the other drivers at the stoplight know you're not to be trifled with.  VW gear for VW gearheads: http://drivergear.vw.com.

The Carbon Neutral Project is a partnership with Carbonfund.org, designed to start addressing the issue of carbon emissions. With their help, we'll be making it easy for anyone who owns a Volkswagen to determine their vehicle's carbon output and take action towards offsetting it.  So far, the VW community has planted over 300,000 trees and offset 419,343 tons of carbon.  And that's just the beginning.
