 I purchased the Passat because as a new 
father, safety becomes a higher 
priority than style.  Although the 
Passats style is subdued with the fine 
lines of its European ancestry.  I now 
need to replace this car due to a major 
traffic accident,  Airbags deployed, 
front crumpled, as designed.  (It was 
the other guys fault, he blew through 
the intersection without stopping, and 
I hit him.)  I stepped from the vehicle 
without a scratch, in a lesser car I 
would have been injured.
