It aint easy these days to find a mid-size family sedan with a V-6, now that most of the major players have transitioned to turbocharged inline-fours as their upgrade engines. As a reminder that the aging Volkswagen Passat still plays the no-replacement-for-displacement game with its optional 3.6-liter V-6. VW has lowered the suspension by 0.6 inch, giving the Passat GT a slightly meaner stance as it sits on its 19-inch Tornado-design wheels. Engineers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the GT trim was conceived and developed, also retuned the dampers and springs for more roll stiffness and added a sportier exhaust to let the V-6 sing its song more clearly. And, of course, there are the requisite visual tweaks, chief among them a black-painted roof, GTI-inspired red trim around the grille, and faux-carbon-fiber trim and contrast stitching to spruce up the outdated but solidly built cabin.
