Volkswagen Passat CC 2008-2016

But that's not the general opinion. A mere mention of the name Audi holds more gravitas than VW's.

the new A4 is ugly and truly banal, but this is still a VW after all, and then it's based on an aging platform...
but you have to consider the Touareg selling numbers...

It's not based on an old platform, is it?

The new Passat chasis is losely based on the Golf's and doesn't share anything with the old Passat.

sorry for my messed up post...
my thought is: the Passat CC, as the Passat, is based on a aging chassis: it's dated 2003 but it wasn't impressive at its debut, so now neither

obviously, the new A4 is based on the new modular chassis, but this didn't impress no one too...an improvement over the old A4, but nothing extraordinary or that actually feels new.
a better set up of the A5 for sure.

Volkswagen Passat CC Gold Coast

SPECIAL EDITION CC GOLD COAST DEBUTS AT PEBBLE BEACH
Volkswagen’s new CC four-door coupé provides sports car dynamics with a luxury touch

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – To kick off the market launch of the new CC, Volkswagen of America, Inc. will debut a CC Gold Coast edition at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, August 15-17. The CC Gold Coast highlights the luxury sports coupe with powerful performance, strong lines and luxury touches combining the emotional and expressive stance of a sports coupé with the convenience of a luxury sedan.

“The CC Gold Coast builds upon the luxury sports coupe that debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show,” said Derek Jenkins, Chief Designer at Volkswagen’s Santa Monica, California Design Center. “We’ve added luxury and performance extras like tri-coat paint, high-end interior appointments, and ground affects that enhance the sportiness of our newest sedan.”

The unmistakable Volkswagen front-end, with two cross-struts and a centrally placed Volkswagen logo between trapezoidal headlamps is highlighted by the ground effects on the CC Gold Coast. A high-end tri-coat paint, DuPont’s Pepe Pepper, features a rich mix of gold, brown and silver tones that compliment the cars design characteristics.

The rear end of the coupé is also marked by large-surface dual taillights that produce an unmistakable visual image day and night. A spoiler with additional rear-end ground effects helps further enhance the vehicle’s sporty nature. The CC Gold Coast sits on 19 inch propeller style wheels, which provide a combination of sharp style and improved curb appeal.

Volkswagen’s attention to detail is shown off in the interior of the CC Gold Coast with four ergonomically formed sport seats wrapped in luxurious leather, a combination of Latte Macchiatto, Cornsilk with Bronze Piping on the seats with matching accents on the dash and door trim.

The CC Gold Coast edition features the 3.6L TFSI, rated at 280 horsepower and 265lbs.-ft of torque, with the innovative DSG double-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic, yet another example of the car’s dual nature. The DSG system not only offers the driver the advantage of choosing between fully automatic operation or full manual selection, DSG also changes gears more quickly and smoothly than a conventional transmission, while improving fuel economy.

The CC comes to U.S. market in the fourth quarter of 2008, with a starting price under $27,000.

Starting price under 27k $! Passat CC with V6 costs at least 80k $ in Poland! There is no justice!

Well , I think its pretty cheap for a sedan and anyway I completely trust VW's quality because of an accident I was in a few yrs ago with my Passat 03' . Someone rear ended me at 50 and I walked with only a messed up knee. The other guys Hyundai SUV was totaled. I currently have a BUICK Enclave , lol . It was a last minute decision for a 4x4 . I get a lot of smack for that car.
