Have you all read the recent analysis report in facebook?
Just the Facts:
HERNDON, Virginia — Volkswagen on Thursday announced that it is lowering the price of the redesigned 2012 Passat by $7,180 versus the 2010 Passat, thus undercutting the base 2011 Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. The 2012 Passat will go on sale in the fall.
The base 2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.5L starts at $20,765, including a $770 destination charge, compared to $27,945 for the 2010 Passat. The top-of-the-line 2012 Volkswagen Passat SEL Premium starts at $33,720, including shipping. There was no 2011 Passat.
The pricing strategy slots the new Passat — which is longer, wider and roomier than its predecessor — below the base Camry and Accord. The 2011 Toyota Camry starts at $20,995, including a $760 destination charge. The 2011 Honda Accord starts at $21,930, including a $750 destination charge.
But the Passat's chief domestic rival, the 2011 Ford Fusion, is still cheaper. The 2011 Ford Fusion starts at $19,645, including a $795 destination charge.
VW offers a choice of three engines in the Passat, including a four-cylinder turbodiesel that is expected to deliver 43 mpg on the highway, the company said in a statement. The Passat with the 2.0-liter TDI starts at $26,765, including shipping.
VW is providing free scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles.
Inside Line says: VW re-enters the midsize family sedan segment with an aggressive pricing strategy — but will it be enough to get buyers out of their old favorites?
