I almost bought a VW Passat 1.8T sedan, loved the exterior and the interior is top-notch. Same mechanicals as the Audi 1.8T and costing less too. The coil-pack failures on the 1.8T engine that I have been reading on the VW forums really scared me away from the brand. They have great designs, and their interiors (together with Audi) are the envy of the auto-world, but it seems that VW/Audi cars are plagued with electrical gremlins.
That sports car concept looks gourgeous though.

glad to hear they joined the rest of the auto world. I just hope the cars can make it that long.
We had major problems with the cars we owned - not minor things and my father, being a mechanic, literally ended up having to redesign some poor recurring breakage stuff on 2 of them. The audi's brain blew and the replacement was $1500. Anyway, they scare me. ALL of them had electrical problems too.
