It's no secret Volkswagen is developing a new mid-size sedan (hence the NMS codename) to replace the Passat in the North American market, but today the German automaker posted a teaser on its website ahead of the car's world premiere which will take place at next week's Detroit motorshow.
Visitors entering Volkswagen of America's website are greeted by a sedan model wrapped in a white sheet and a note that says "The sleeker, roomier, all-new, German-engineered 2012 ______. Fill the blank on January 10th".
We'll have to wait until the Detroit show to find out more details including the car's name, but from the info VW has revealed so far, we know that the NMS will be produced at the firm's new U.S. factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee and it will be priced lower than the current Passat which it will replace in the North American market.
Volkswagen's new Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata rival will go on sale at dealerships in the third quarter of 2011 as a 2012 model year.

is no more than a passat!
Sonata > Any VW
"The sleeker, roomier, all-new, German-engineered 2012 ______. Fill the blank on January 10th".
Boring box? Over rated piece of tedium? Bigger Jetta?
Looking forward to know the name of this NMS.
Always liked VW naming-strategy and their names are for the long-haul so be prepared to see this name in 20 years time still.
this car is going to be awesome
What about Santana... or Sultana?
Sultana ?? a dry raisin for a car-name ?? hope not.
It will be Passat..... for real
if the drawing is how the new passat will look like then the old ones still cooler...looks like a frigin jetta..
