Got a linky to a pic?

TTIWWOP

what does TTIWWOP mean?

here's a pic, probably a photchop, and may still be concept, but has a thicker, more aggressive (BMW-like) look than the Legacy. Legacy looks sleeker, less stubby. Just a matter of which you prefer.

TTIWWOP = This Thread Is Worthless WithOut Pictures

I think.

The only things this Passat and the new Legacy have in common are the headlight style and turn-signal integrated side mirrors. The styling resemble the current Passat very closely. IMHO

That would be my guess as well. Fortunately gumball saves the thread.

That Passat looks downright portly. Needs to go on a diet!

There is a similarity,... like if you put a friggin' scoop on the hood it looks exactly like a Legacy!

yeah! EXACTLY!

Damn. That Passat looks AWESOME.

reks · 06-19-2003, 09:22 PM

It looks awesome and it's gonna have DSG.

If DSG is half as cool as it sounds it'll be pretty damn sweet.

The C pillar on the new Passat gives it away. It is thin, just like the current version and not as thick as the current and new versions of the Legacy. You'll see this more clearly in a side view, I'd bet.

Yep. You can see a few other pics in this thread on vwvortex: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=895164

The only way I'd take it is if they had a twin turbo VR6 with 4motion attached.... oh, that would make it more like a Audi RS6, huh? My bad.

Man, do you think they could make the VW badge in the front grill any bigger?

Kostamojen · 06-20-2003, 03:43 AM

Other than the bottom "bump" on the headlights, I dont see any simularities...

The roof line still looks like a Passat, just how the new Legacy roofline still looks like a current gen Legacy. The passat front end is COMPLETELY different from the Legacy (exept that little headlight bulge) however the doors/sides are both rather generic, just like all the other new midsized cars like the accord, G35, Alitma, etc. but the lines are slightly different enough to seperate them all visually. The round front end of the new Passat is definatly.

Still reminds me of Honda...

Yeah, in basic proportion it looks like an Accord.

But the styling details, paint, etc., make this an AWESOME looking car, whereas the Accord is FUG-LEE.

VW has good-looking cars, no doubt about it.

I'm not in the market for a car that big, but if it was...I'd get a Legacy.
