140 bhp TDI
150 bhp FSI petrol.
The car gets to triple digit speeds within 10 seconds
Rs 30 lakh (Rs 3 million)

The 150bhp eninge is same as the RS. Also the Audis use the same ones.

This car has already been tested by various Media people. Saw it on TV as well. It has a unique key which costs Rs. 25,000 itself.

thers even comparsion testdrive in some automag.

30L for a VW Passat.no way.it has to be prices on par with the Skoda Superb.

Cant you get an A4 for the same kind of money????

Yes. A4 is also in that range.

Then whats the point of having different brands like VW, Audi, Skoda etc if they all sell in the same range?

I agree , its sad that we end up paying the price of an S Class and all we get is a C Class or a Camry . Sad.

Audi A4 TDi
Rs.29.65 ex-showrromMumbai
0-60; 4.12sec
0-100:9.78sec
top speed: 206kmph
140bhp @4k
32.63kgm @ 1750-2000rpm

30Lakhs ? Shady. Its an Accord competitor, and doesn't always win. Its a great looking car etc, but 30!?

Cars are not always bought for racing, dude. There is more to car than just 0-100 numbers. Having said that, 30L looks steep for Passat.

How can a Passat be more expensive than a C Class Merc ??

I think VW has borrowed some dope from their Czech cousins at Skoda .. :)

My mistake - I meant 'wins' as in market segment competition. Not street racing :)

I think its because its brought in as a CBU. Still its too much. Mondeo CBU was only 17-18.

Does VW have official dealerships yet?

Skoda Superb is based on prev gen Passat.

IMO they think that they are somehow selling cars from one brand or the other (same company different brands)lol:

30L for a "common people's car". No way ......
