Sorry if this is old, I just saw it on the site today. They did a shootout of 5 family sedans. The 6, Altima, Passat, Accord, and Camry. The Accord won overall, the 6 was in a close second. They didn't like the automatic on the 6, they said it was pretty sluggish. They also said the engine was less torquey than the others, they were hoping for the 5spd.

Something else that got me scratching my noodle was that they said the Passat was the most uniquely-styled out of all the cars. All the R&T people agreed. I always thought the Passat was about the most generically styled car, not just in the group of 5 cars either. It makes me want to puke. Can't please them all I guess?
