...the big diff is all in the looks and the way they ride due to the different suspension..other than that....they both are a Pasion to drive...

If you like a Brabus...BUY IT... To buy the Parts separately would cost a lot more to hang on a Passion, and the resale value would not be their because the Title does not say Brabus... Nobody will give you Squat for all the custom parts you hang on a Passion...

$22K sounds like the BRABUS Cabriolet. ($20,990 + $645 destination + options)

My Florida title does not say Brabus anywhere on it. There is no special vin number for the Brabus. I wish there was. I also have a Corvette Z06 and the vin is different from a regular Corvette. The eighth digit is an "S" on the Z06 and a number on other Corvettes. It is almost impossible to clone a Z06, but is is easy to clone a Brabus because of the vin numbers.
