Volkswagen Passat CC Shall Be Known Merely As VW CC

If you haven't seen the Volkswagen Passat CC in person, you may not be able to appreciate the muscular beauty of the "four dour coupe" that's headed towards US shores. No one could give us a straight answer for what CC stood for, though most assumed "concept coupe," despite the fact the car is obviously a sedan. Either way, we heard a rumor it was to be merely the Volkswagen CC. Now we have a conformation, of sorts, from the VW website, which is now proudly proclaiming the "CC" for 2008.

Audi A5 Sportback Possibly in Works

AutoBild is reporting (in German) that in calendar week 13 of 2009, Audi has a new model in the werks dubbed the A5 Sportback. Little is known about this possible new offering, but Autobild is going against the prevailing wisdom that the Sportback will be a wagon-like offering, saying it will compete in the emerging swoopy sedan category currently populated by the Mercedes CLS, pending Porsche Panamera and recently revealed Volkswagen Passat CC. While we're on the subject of the Passat CC, if this speculation is accurate, we're thinking this is V-Dub doing it's platform prostitution best with that new curvy roof line. We'll keep our ear to the ground for more details. [Autobild [translated] via Germancarblog]

Detroit Auto Show: We Get The Down Low On The Passat CC


The PR people at VeeDub were more than happy to give us a walk through of the black Volkswagen CC, which looks even better than the silver model. Though it's called the Passat CC, and will be likely thought of as a Passat, the current talk is that they'll drop the Passat moniker and offer it as the next step up for VW buyers that didn't go for Phaeton and would otherwise get an Audi or BMW. And we included a close up of the doors for those that asked.Who loves you?

Latest by Stoatmaster: @ash78: The best one is in the centre of Berlin. Starts off with a window of Skoda, then VW, and eventually goes round the corner into a shopping arcade, where it continues with a Bentley and finally a Bugatti window. Very odd indeed. Odd more »

Detroit Auto Show: 2009 VW Passat CC Joins the Self Parking Party

Here's a tidbit we missed from the 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC live reveal on Sunday. It seems that VW is stepping up to the Lexus challenge and introducing an auto-park feature for the swoopy sedan with the coupe-like roof. eGMcartech is reporting on this interesting development, while we're left hoping it's at least faster at automatically making you do it yourself.

Detroit Auto Show: Volkswagen Passat CC Four-Door Coupe Live

Volkswagen needs a bit more luxury and, with the less than stellar performance by the Phaeton, you may be looking at it. Chris Doane, our intrepid photographer, managed to grab views from the floor of this new sleek coupe. Getting the jump on Ford, VW will be offering the Passat CC exclusively with direct injection engines "worldwide." That means the US will be getting a 200 horsepower 2.0 liter TSI and 280 horsepower V6 FSI. All of the V6's will be offered with full-time 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard equipment.
