[Fluffy]

cool! what are the specs for the Passats?? wonder if they look like Camrys ....kinda in the pics....

[Qwert]

Not sure of the specs...

 

The official launch was yesterday at Ritz...didn't go, but got some pics from a VAG forumer...

 

 

 

[Scratchy]

nice...massive grill in front....

[Fluffy]

thanks Q, just saw the pics from vagsg posted by the doc. ......i must say, i really like the aluminum furnished interior! though beige and black would be my thing....

 

but overall, really nice car, I see it comes with the 150 bhp 2.0 FSI engine with a 6 speed autobox.

btw, does car & cars does overtrade to help subsidize the amount i need to come out for the loan when i sell my existing car? Thks.

Hi guys

 

I have been to the showrm today. There were many pple there. I have checked with one of the SE that there is no overtrade for Passat. Indeed the Passat is good-looking. You will have to see it real to really...wow...

 

Well...one thing never change..the attitude of the SE. I think they have 'dog's eyes', if you know what i mean :)

[Toledosun]

lol... I couldn't agree more. I brought my family to see the Touran before I bought my jag. The SEs couldn't even be bothered to approach us even though there were a few just sitting there. Needless to say, that was one of the reasons why i didn't bother to wait for the passat.

Booked mine during the soft-launch and collected it on Saturday. Enjoying every minute of it...

 

Don't bother walking into the showroom and wait to be served... if anybody needs to talk to a VW SE I can PM you a contact, very good and efficient guy, highly recommeded in VAGSG.com.

Very very nice! Good choice of color! Rims need to be upsized though!

couldn't agree more. I was there, approach a sales guy standing by the counter, ask for price & brochure. He said "ran out"..who are you trying to fool, an Ang Mo was hovering around the showroom as well, guess what, holding a brochure & being served.

 

After that, just left the showroom, can't be bothered to explore further.

Nice car bro! Saw 1 exactly the same colour driving along bedok road, was instantly attracted to it.

[Decibel]

I'm not a fan of how the chrome on the grill extends all the way down to the bumper, but nice classy ride otherwise. You definitely have to get some bigger rims

[Blackford]

SG 88, nice number : )

[Edrollbrick]

Same feeling.

Was there on Sunday, look see for a good 10minutes. some free Sales or idling girls chatting away at the counter. 2 male Sales heavily involved with customers. No one show interest to a serious potential buyer...

Hmm, so I walked away

[Slowpoke156]

What's new, they have been like that for the longest time. A colleague of mine walked in with a cheque book to buy the Mk4 Golf GTi a few years ago. They ignored him totally, probably because he was in bermudas and slippers. Fed up, he went next door and ordered an Alfa 156, paid 50% cash and loaned the rest for only 3 years.

 

I walked in a couple of times to look at the previous Passat and the current Golf. Same treatment, simply bo chap. I took my purchase elsewhere.

Try SM.... you will never feel better. Guaranteed.

[Decibel]

Guaranteed? I beg to differ. Went with my cousin to have a look at the S60s (both of us in bermudas too), the SEs didnt budge off their seats during the 15-20mins we were looking at the cars. Good thing we prefer not be disturbed anyway.

 

They were polite enough when we asked for the prices though.

[Sapience]

seems kinda strange if you are penalizing the car just because its sales people doesn't push it well...

 

if you're there for the car (like me) i don't care if they don't serve me at all! or give me attitude or whatever, i'm not there to be fawned over anyway... it's the car, it's the car...
