Passat on eestikõnekeelne häälikute balatisatsiooni jms eestindamise tulem. Õige ongi tegelikult pasaat. Nimetus on tulnud "pasaat tuulte" järgi.
Nagu ka (Golf)i hoovus ja mõned volksu nimed veel.
Tsiteeri:
Golf Hatchback: The Golf is named after the Gulf Stream — a powerful current in the Atlantic Ocean.
Jetta Sedan: “Jetta” translates to “jet stream,” which alludes to its sporty performance and athletic build.
Tiguan SUV: Tiguan is a combination of “tiger” and “leguan” — the German word for “iguana.”
Atlas SUV: The Volkswagen Atlas is named after the Greek Titan Atlas. He held up the celestial heavens and was skilled in mathematics and astronomy.
Beetle Coupe & Convertible: The soon-to-be-retired VW Beetle earned its name from its bug-like shape. Fun fact: The VW Beetle was originally called the Volkswagen Type 1.
CC Sedan: The VW CC was retired recently but had one of the more straightforward names of the VW vehicles. CC stands for “Comfort Coupe.”
Ilmselt see eestikeelestumine on ka muude markidega samamoodi.
Prantslased on oma sõnade hääldamisega jube täpsed. Meil läheb keel sõlme sellepeale. Aga noh, anna inglase hääldada jää-äär siis on neil kuul koos
Õ häälikut ei tea vist üldse mitte keegi teine.

Touareg SUV: The Tuareg people of the Saharan desert inspired the name of this SUV. Its style and spaciousness encourage Springfield drivers to see new sights and experience new adventures.
