From AutocadeVolkswagen began developing the Passat in the mid-1960s, realizing that its 411 and 412 range would date in the next decade. Sharing a platform with the original Audi 80, the Passat broke new ground for the German company and, after numerous incarnations, is one of the more desirable mid-sized—or large, depending on your location—vehicles today. The critical model was the B5 of 1996, which endowed the Passat with style; till then, it was simply a worthy German contender. Made in Brazil and China as well, though not always the latest generation. US manufacture from 2011, for a model unique to that continent, on a separate platform. Other names included Dasher, Quantum and Santana, while Magotan denotes a Chinese long-wheelbase B7.
