Or, how about a new Passat? It will be using the A4 driveline etc... but a bit bigger inside. Unfortunately, if you need to do it soon, you can't get one yet with quattro (uhh... I should say Syncro!!)... the AWD won't be available until the Spring... along with the 30 valve 190 hp (not 200 like in the A6) V-6.

Oh, and FWIW, Autoweek (on cable TV on Speedvision) did a small segment on the new Passat. Looks nice.. and they had a lot of favorable things to say. Hmm... maybe in the spring, I'll go take a peek at a 30 valve, with Syncro, and a 5-speed (or maybe Tiptronic?)!! Anyone else plan on taking a peek? I'll bet they'll sell a bunch of them... (and give the A4 a run for its money!!)

Good luck with your decision... it's a tough one. I'm with the rest of the others... try to keep it if you can. Too nice to give up...
