Is 2010 the last year for the VW Passat?




John


I'm in the market for a new car and have been considering a 2010 VW Passat, but recently heard via a video that 2010 is the last year for the Passat. If this is true I'm shying away from buying one. Can anyone confirm? I have not been able to gain any more insight through web searches...maybe use the wrong key words though. Thanks in advance.
Right, should have been more specific. Only concerned with the US released vehicles. Thanks...I guess I can drop the Passat from the list. Aside from the 'end of the year' I knew the price was too good.



Answer
The German website, Auto Bid, brings brand new shots of the upcoming 2011 VW Passat.

True or False: If you go to cars.gov website, your computer becomes the property of the US government?

True. This is all over the news. Listen to Glen Beck, and evaluate yourself what he has to say. This is Obama's work. Learn what socialism really means.

If you go to cars,gov, the government will take over your computer: inspect, spy, copy all your hard drive files...your computer becomes the property of the US government. This is scary. Check it out if you haven't. Thoughts?

Here's the YouTube video where Glen Beck discusses this issue:
