Volkswagen has unveiled the US version of the Passat at the 2011 Detroit auto show. It's longer and wider than the car offered in Europe.
The US Passat will be built at a new factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and will be the first Volkswagen to be built in the United States since 1988. It is the first major step in VW’s campaign to turn around its disappointing performance in the world’s second-largest car market.
