    Default PASSAT R GT coming to the US...?

    i was reading euro tuner and they are producing 2000 aero designs for the US its a 4500$ option... as it sits looks like no motor mods will be available like the original 500+whp one showd at sema but you can get the cool looks.

    ^ that the car will look like. you get the body kit, new gril, and 18" wheels for 4500$... i dig the front/rear bumpers and the exhaust but 4500$ ouch!

    I'll keep mine, chip it, do 20"s and be happy w/ the left over $$
    As far as tryin to copy Nissan w/ the letters GTR.... I hope you are kiddin....Because that thinkin is like sayin Nissan copied Ford by using GT, the most used insignia....and R is a VW thing, and Acura.

    ya its not too bad of a price... but i wouldn't want the factory wheels anyway... so if you could just get the body mod's + exhuast = BLING BLING!!! but its still not too bad i guess... if they threw in software w/ the deal it would be awesome
