Do you know what brought about the inspiration to make the Passat?
It was designed in 1973 to fill the gap between the Golf and the Phaeton at the time of its introduction.
Are there any special features in the Passat that others don't have?
The latest model was intended to move the Passat upmarket to compete with the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes Benz C-Class.
Ok, what's the total market share of cars that the Passat sales have taken  over?
I am not sure about the market share, but in February 2018 they shipped more than 400,000 Passats worldwide.
Thanks for the information, what variants of the VW Passat are available for buyers?
Not including used models, the current base model is the B8. It can be heavily customized, however, with various trim levels.
Wow, i appreciate these information about the VW Passat, I'll consider these when making a buying decision
No problem, I'm a bit of a car nerd. I don't own a Passat myself, but my neighbor does and we discuss cars frequently.
