Hi,

My Skoda Octavia vRS is now 3.5 years old and I am looking into replacing it. Naturally, I am looking at the B7 Passat as its a little bigger. However, I don't want to buy one and then find out the shape changes drastically next year and I end up with the old shape so quickly.

From what I can tell the B7 went on sale mid 2011. Was the B7 a mojor upgrade or only a small upgrade from the B6. I would expect a new Passat to arrive in 2014 if this is the case.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
