    Saw a CC on the road this morning...


    DISGUSTING ass-end... I had seen a black one back when they barely came out (thanks Cars & Coffee Irvine) and it was GOOD! But the green-grey color of the one this morning was SO not money!!

    To those who doubt; get in one. Drive a 3.6 AWD. You will want. Even with the automatic transmission. I'd have one already if it had a manual. In reality, this is in market with the new Taurus, not a Merc. Even though it's nicer inside than a new C or E class. It might be interesting to contrast the CC 3.6 AWD with a new Taurus SHO in a future article.

    I drove one of these in Monterey, and talked to the VW folks at Pebble, where this edition debuted. It's nice and fancy without being gaudy. Still, it's a little overshadowed by the Taurus SHO in Chicago.

    Put a manual in this and I'd go for it over a Panamera. Looks to be about ninety percent of the way there, with a better resolved exterior. You could buy a lot of Happy Meals for the linoleum lizards with the left over cash, and the gas milage has to be about double.


    Can't do it with the monochrome interior/exterior. Better to mix it up with more contrast.

    Your brain is telling you she's not worth it, because you couldn't stand all the sacrifices: Having to become a vegan. Learning to like Starbucks. Learning Yoga. Switching to Buddhism.


    But part of you just wants to override your brain and jump on her like a fat kid on a twinkie, because sacrifices or not, DAMN she looks good in those pants.

Man, it is an awkward situation when you're shopping with your wife and can't stop oggling some other woman. "Honey, it's not my fault! It's those pants!"

    @SlowMo: I explained it to my ex in advance. "Honey, we're going into the mall. If I see a hot girl in Lululemons, I am going to have to admire her. It's not my fault, they were designed to make me do it, and they work."


    She understood, and once we were in the mall, she would actually point them out. "Oh, damn. You have my permission to stare at that girl."

    In reply to VW Passat CC Gold Coast Concept: Incredibly Sexy
    This is a nice car, and very good looking.


    The interior is well done, with Italian style seat horizontal seat inserts, etc.


    However, it is just too impractical for a VW and its price I think. The rear seat, beside being for 2 only, is terrible for ingress/egress due to the swoopy shape. Overall, you minds as well get a coupe, and something sportier in general. I don't know what their volume projections are, but if it is meant to be mass market I just don't see it happening.

    @rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: In my area, VWs have shown the greatest growth of any brand I can think of over the past few years. I literally see twice as many as I did five years ago. Still never seen a CC outside of a dealer lot, but I see a couple dozen Passats a day.


    I know that's informal science, but I still can't reconcile how a brand who has built its modern reputation on practicality and "high content for the price" would even bother with this.


    When Piech was at the helm, they were really planning to go model-for-model with Mercedes, winning on price. Most analysts thought this was a bad idea. I see more of the same here.

    @OG_: I, on the other hand, am quite a big fan of VAG. I think about it a lot. Much of my life is spent trying to come up with ideas that will help me get more VAG in my life. I even find that from time to time, I end up looking at VAG photos on the internet.


    The above is a conversation that is perfectly clean on Jalopnik, and not even a little bit clean on Fleshbot.

    The 2009 Passat is a very good looking car, but I can't help think that the rear end (especially around the window) looks a little like a older Ford Taurus.

    She is perdy. Classy and understated. The way a mid-market sedan should be.


    I wonder how long it took them to get the "VW" in the wheel centers to all be vertically oriented?

    @engineerd confused n00b: Easy.
    1. Some cars have spinning centers to the wheels, they take about thirty seconds to do it all around.
    2. if no spinning hubs, 1 guy can do it in about 5 min. by putting the car in Neutral, jacking up the tire and centering the wheel - repeat for each wheel.
