Volkswagen Releases New Teaser of U.S.-Made Passat Replacement


A few months after publishing the first sketch of its forthcoming mid-size sedan that will be produced at a new factory currently being built in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Volkswagen's American division came out today with yet another sketch of its Honda Accord rival that's destined to go on sale in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2011. The picture of the still-to-be-named sedan suggests that the car's looks will more or less fall in line with the current Passat and Jetta.

The German automaker hasn't released many details on the sedan other than it will be similar in size to the Passat offering "spacious legroom", "a large trunk" and "numerous cupholders" (...) with power being provided by the firm's latest Fuel-Stratified Injection (FSI) gasoline and TDI diesel engine units, coupled to a dual-clutch transmission.

The new mid size sedan will essentially replace the Passat in North America (but not Europe) slotting between the smaller Jetta and the sportier looking and more premium, Passat CC "four-door coupe".
