This may not be the best post to ask this question but why, when mid-size sedans are compared, is the VW Passat never included? The 2014 mid-size sedan comparison didn't include it. I realize that the Euro Passat is different than the North American model but worldwide, Passat is the best selling VW, yet you only see Golfs and Jettas in North America. You can also get it with a manual transmission in the upper trim level which very few car makers have anymore.
