After I test drove a second time, as I was leaving the dealership, another customer had taken it out for a drive. The dealer was trying to exit the lot and make a left onto a busy street, so it was just sitting there waiting. I got to see the turn signal, and it blinked red inside one of the red rear LED rings. I can't recall if it was LED or not.
If I'm wrong, please correct me.

The ring is LED for sure.
The center is probably incandescent.

Plus I liked how the stalk didn't actually remain down or up while turning, it merely acted like a switch, the same as the 745/750.Have to admit the Passat has some sweet looking tail lamps--all white until the brakes or turn signals go on, then it becomes red/pink.
I went to an early launch event tonight (10/25), and I double-checked the turn signal. It's just a regular incandescent bulb that blinks inside the outer LED taillight rings.

Speaking of the Passat's taillights, the '07 TL base model has something similar (not round, but white sections which light up red with the LED's more visible than before). The TL still uses a regular incandescent bulb for signaling.
