But the Passats had them inline like the Audi, whereas the VR6 was mounted transversley in all the stuff it was fitted in. I think so anyway. There may exceptions to this rule but it was probably easier to transplant the Audi V6 than to turn the VR6 round. That's my theory anyway. 

B5 Passat was very much an Audi chassis. They had the Audi split upper wishbone on the front. 

B6 looks much more like an upscaled Golf.

Why would anyone do that?  If you're going to ruin a car like that then be prepared to keep it forever or scrap it cos no one else will want it

Reminds me of that POS hideously customised Rover P6 pick up thing that pops up periodically

Don't tell Cavcraft but I really like that

Edit: it's rotten of course. 

Rust/rot aside, these were actually ok. It's the cesspit version that followed that are awful.

These are a really good looking car, imho.

Wasn't a fan of the facelift, personally.

Seemed like Renault during that era only ever made their cars less attractive when it came midlife nip and tucks

I don't have the link because no Faceache - but a friend at work has just shown me a fucking unicorn car on there.

It's a 2008 Toyota Blade (Auris, Japanese import) but with a 3.5 V6 engine as standard. But it gets better.

It was used as test mule for Lotus for their Evora project (from memory). It then went to Caterham as a test mule, then finished up at McLaren as a test mule. It has all of the radar/lidar shit still.

£8,000.
