Lets talk about new vehicles

The Passat from 2018 is one of the last V6 engines produced for that vehicle.
It's easily worth the premium (total sleeper) to find one, as most are all 4 cyl turbo

And it sounds so good!

This guy claims the CVT trans in the Outlander is different from the one in Rogue, but then doesn't back it up with any evidence, so not very helpful.

I'm also not seeing the "OUTLANDER" lettering on the front of the hood of his example. Is it a Canadian thing? Maybe he just debadged it? Looks less obnoxious this way.

The lettering used to be a option.
Now it may be linked to trim level.
The cvt is the same but programmed differently although I did hear it was updated again.
Lots of bad info on these on YouTube

The Rogue advantage is more dealerships and parts availability.
That is a plus. I like both to be honest. Maybe the Rogue is a ladies ride and the face aggressive Outlander is a dude's ride???

Now that GTR would be THE way to travel long distances. If you had tons of $$$ to burn of course.

 

[Zee09]

That one is $114k

Yup- It just looks like a bolted together sheet metal mess
One credit is that the inside is actually bigger than the outward appearance

This angle is not so bad and the color scheme is okay
