There's no tougher market segment than midsize sedans, but Volkswagen has done well here with the Passat. Without much fanfare, the Passat has earned a good living over five previous-model generations, even becoming the perennial best-selling German midsize sedan in America. To put that into perspective, the Passat attracts about 75,000 of the 2.7 million buyers of cars purchased in the overall segment every year.
