    Audi face and Camry ass.
    Actually, apart from the generic rear end, I kinda like this. But when they get to the "special door tread plates"--unless they actually polish my shoes or something when I get in, it sounds like they're flogging it a bit to hard.

    I was all set to dump on the CC as an unnecessary re-do of the already sales and price-challenged Passat. But you know what? After seeing several on the street, I have to say that it looks really good. It's the best take yet on the "four-door coupe" idea - far, far better looking than the softened-wax Mercedes CLS. The R-line can be easily skipped as a paint-on performance package, though.

    @tonyola: I agree, it's a beautiful car as it is, and if there are no performance mods included in this package, it doesn't need to be tarted up like this to be attractive. One of the few new cars I've seen in person that dropped my jaw. (To be fair, I am a mouthbreather.)

    I don't get it. What's wrong with the CC rear end? Considering how fat the normal Passat's is, I consider it a massive improvement.

    My favorite line is "cast the Passat CC in an even sportier light". That's the 3rd thing I ask at a dealer. "How much hp? How much does it cost? How sporty of a light does it project?".

    @Saboth: Perceived list of concerns buyers have when making the purchase decision as created by Automakers and their Marketing 'Think Tanks'

    1.) Is it Ground breaking?
    2.) Does it provide a holistic solution to my hierarchy of needs?
    3.) Is it the best [car model name] ever?
    4.) Does it cast a sporty light?

    I think VW is the first automaker to come up with a press release that even the ePRS (US Patent No. c11077983) can't summarize.

    Of course, it doesn't contain much information. Particularly since there don't seem to be any performance gains. In that case, I'm going to pass.

    However, there is probably a market for this. Strike that, there is a market for this.

    Style over function: that used to be quite un-Volkswagen.

    And who said there would never be another CCR? Someone's going to read this and sue John Fogerty before they figure out it's just a car.

    Holy crap, the CC's trunk lever doubles as the rear view camera? That's the kind of detailing that only Germans pull off so effortlessly.

    So an up-charged cosmetic variant of the Passat undergoes even more cosmetic variation for yet another price increase.

    I just see a boatload of disparate bodylines in the side view. You have the sideskirt, then you have the molding at another angle, the crease at a third angle, then the window sill matching the molding. And those hood lines are still a trainwreck.

    It cuts a nice silhouette, but still bugs me in those details.

    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.

    @SlowMo: Hm. Pretty much a perfect analogy, actually. I'm thinking that it's kind of like that awesome-hot little Yoga freak in Lululemon pants.


    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.

    @SlowMo: I was wondering if that reference was going to get lost... LuluLemon is a Canadian company, I'm not sure if they've made it to the 'States.


    But my god, the things those pants can do for a girl's ass... They make an average butt look like Kim Kardashian, and they make a nice butt stop traffic.

    @Deartháir: Amen brother. My wife wanted to stop by the co-op on our way to her grandmas last night and there was a very hot artsy woman wearing those things. 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."
