I didn’t know there was a Passat GT until yesterday when I saw some reviews pop-up.

“Inside, there’s a bevy of sport-flavored upgrades, from carbon fiber optic décor and a black headliner to two-tone black/gray seats with contrast stitching. Under the hood there’s a 3.6-liter VR6 engine—tuned to 280 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 258 lb-ft of torque at 2,500 rpm with regular fuel. Paddle shifters control a six-speed DSG Tiptronic® automatic transmission.”

However, in some related news, looks like the next GLI will get the GTi’s good bits. The standard 2019 Jetta has been getting good reviews but will anyone take the GLI over the GTI?

TIL that VW still uses the VR6.

For everyone whining about FWD here’s a Miller Type 91, a car so good Ettore Bugatti traded his cars for these back in the day. It was FWD.

I might buy a GLI. I test drove a low-mileage used current gen a few years ago at a Porsche dealer and loved it. While I was discussing whether or not to go back and buy it someone else snagged it. (Test drives of used cars at the my local Porsche dealer have been amazingly low stress for me - the sales guys there seem to be used to cars that sell themselves and aren’t pushy at all.)

I saw that at the NY auto show....was odd to see a GT badge on a VW. The front looked a bit like the R.

Why not? It can be done. Cars like the Focus ST or Golf GTI are definitely sporty and fwd, had they been sedans they would be sport sedans. It requires a lot more than just throwing a bigger motor in a regular sedan though.
