Separated at birth? From the side, they have the same blacked out mid pillar and same rear cutline except one goes back and one goes forward. Same with the rear bumper. From the front, the front grille even has the same basic shape and if you put on passat headlights, it would look almost like a passat.
The interior is also way better than the new passat. I've owned a pontiac and it's interior was lousy even by standards then. A chevy actually looks better on the inside than a VW? It looks like it came out of an Audi!
Except for the front, I definitely see the resemblance! However, I have not bought a car from the big 3 in 10 years and since I rarely buy new cars anyways, probably won't for a while.
I don't think that's true, the jetta and 4 door golf don't look like that. It's got a somewhat buick-phaeton stretched sedan look. The front and rear overhangs are also very close. The rear and front look are very close. It's the trapezoidal grille and the hood line that meets the grille.
Hm...the front not so much, the back and the sides are right on. It's the wide trunk, white part in the taillights, and the lip on the end of the trunk.
The ford taurus and the passat look the same too but I've seen the ford taurus, it looks more beefy in the front from a different angle. From this angle, the round greenhouse and proportions are right on! They both have this "bubbly" look. In fact, the more I look at it, the more they look the same. If you switched the grille and headlights, most people won't be able to tell the difference.
Huh? The Ford Taurus doesn't look anything like the old passat. The taillights and grille are all wrong. It's the angle of the picture. If anything, the Taurus looks like an Audi A4 from the side. Same bubble dome, even the rear window is pointed instead of blunted like the Passat. Change the front headlights, bada bing!
The thunderbunny body kit on the 2010 VW Jetta TDI cup edition is different enough to require another DIY article vs. the regular front bumper. For example, the license plate was removed just to check if there were any screws in that area like the regular bumper but there were not.
The full...

I have a Jetta TDI Mark V 2005.5 BRM TDI with about 150k on it. Recently, I have noticed very intermittently when taking off in 1st year no matter how much you push down the accelerator, the RPM's do not increase. The car shakes and doesn't sound right and it pours black smoke out the exhaust...
