With all that's in going on in the financial industry (let alone the world) a Passat replacement of the Passat is starting to make more sense.

Go out and commit a random act of kindness...

Default Jesus H.... that's my A6 Avant & $30k Change!
No car I'd love more than an S6 Avant but $30k for an extra 140 hp or so... forget it (not a real issue b/c I wouldn't spend $67 k on a car even if I had it).

Default your car is $15K more than a WRX Wagon, is it $15K better?
Answer: no. There is always the law of diminshing returns. You get the best value for your first $5K. It's all downhill from there.

Luckily, there seem to be enough people for whom $60K+ isn't a problem.

BTW, I know that an S4 Avant is significantly better than a WRX. I was just pointing out how spending 70% more doesn't get you 70% more car.
