the new passat will once again share the same floorpan as the small
audi (a4) and thus will get quattro style full time awd.  this is
going to be the only way you can get a vr6 engine and quattro all
in the same car, unless vw decides to spread it to other models.

btw, the latest car magazine has the vr6 listed as one of their
top ten engines.. the list includes several ferraris, the nsx vtec.

the corrado was the 6th best handling car, ahead of the bmw 3 series.

will post more details to r.a.vw.
