According to Forbes Volkswagen is
currently negotiating with its Northern German plant in Emden on “necessary cost optimiszation” measures related to
producing a coupe variant of the Passat. German newspaper
Bild has
done a conceptual rendering of what the car might look like, going so far as to speculate the new Passat might be a
four-door coupe like the Mercedes CLS. This would be the second coupe coming out of Wolfsburg in the next few years if
reports on a revived Scirocco turn out to be true as
well.
