A repair gone wrong, or a factory worker drunk? This is the China-only & world-only Volkswagen Passta, seen in Beijing by my cousin HdF, who earlier found us a Blinged Maserati. A Volkswagen Passta could actually be a good sell in some markets, like Italy. In China it matters not, since nobody will notice something is wrong.
