spotted VW Passat Estate

esteem_lover · 23rd July 2008, 18:56

beautiful looking car. I love the estates. This must be an import.

vinaykiran79 · 23rd July 2008, 19:13

The vehicle could be either an imported one or a test vehicle. It looks good from rear. I am sure it will be launched soon in India.

there are quite a few of these in bombay. have been going around for a while along with the audi a3.

I hope they are able to bring them in to market. This car in estate format looks much better than Sedan IMO.

But if spotted since a long time and still not launched, then I think that they are testing some engines and mechanical components for hot wheather testing.

Looks more like a test car. Estate looks much better than the sedan and it would be great if it is launched in India.

this one looks too huge.. and there are about 5 to 10 of them aroudn the VW office in BKC all used mostly to pick and drop the employees

It is actually A "station wagon". Estate is a model which Tata brought out in 90s which was a station wagon and that has become a generic name.

DieselFan, the term "estate" has been around much longer than Tata Estate. Even the Morris used to be have something called Estate, IIRC.

TATA is certainly not the inventor of the name Estate.
