The VW Passats are supposed to be cheap, but the Passat2.5L S with Appearance Package I rented stickers for $22,690, and this Camry LE is $22,500. I'd take the Camry over the Passat anyday.

3Cforme, what kind of fuel economy did you see in the Camry? My city-average was disappointing, ~ 20 mpg, and I wasn't even driving it hard.
