Come back to us when you have a yearly average comparison...
Maybe just keep that number to Europe... so you can compare apples with apples, as both nameplates have been around in the EU for the entire time.
Or if its too much trouble... keep the passat out of the argument. Yes, it has sold lots, yes, it has more power, YES, it is a LOT more expensive, for a similar or lower speced vehicle, which according to many, doesnt handle as good. I havnt driven mondeo, so cant say...

Somehow, I see no Mondeo on the list?
By the way, the base model Passat TDI is better equipped then the base-spec Mondeo TDCi. Kind of expected for the $4500 premium, no?
