The width for the Passat has got to be a typo.  There ain't no way it's
86.5 inches.  It should probably be 68.5.

The Passat's 0-60 you quote is probably for the 2.8 with manual transmission.
The A4 2.8 30V with manual trans does 0-60 in 7.1.  The A6 is only
available with Tiptronic in the U.S at the moment.
