Passat 4 Motion

[Lawrence C Leung]

Just when I was about to change my mind about the local dealer.....

1) claiming the wagons weren't availible until April
2) claiming the wagons weren't availible in the V6 GLS models. 

I will check (or have my parents check) other dealers. 

BTW - only avail with the V6 with the VW (the luxo image) and the
driveline is quattro 3 or 4 or whatever comes with the (current) A4/A6
series. It's on the same platform.
