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.

It looks like a crossbreed between an Accord and CLS. From some angles, I actually see Buick.

Bleh:thumbdn:

OMG. This is a Chrysler Sebring. This car looks like rubbish.

ahah

a stretched sebring.

it really does look like the sebring...lol

Sebring! lol

Not coupe-ish enough for me.

Perhaps if it was a hatchback (alla Rapide)?

Does not look like a 4-door coupe a la CLS at all, it's just another sedan :rolleyes:

Interior seems nice though.

Exterior has some good angles and a few bad ones that make it look like a Chrysler from the rear. The interior is very nice, one of the nicer ones I have seen. Volkswagen can do nice interiors though like the Toureg, Phaeton, older Passat.

It looks nice (Peugeot 407), but whats the point?

Stretched Hyundai Elantra tails

IMO the Passat looks nice. Also, IMO, VW needs to improve their quality/reliability scores and get their pricing in order before they can really be successful in the U.S. and Canada again. On their more upscale cars, the pricing has crept up into Audi territory making it an easy choice as to which to buy.

Acura RL/Chrysler Sebring Thing.....

These pics are a lot less flattering than what I saw before. This looks pretty bad. VW can't seem to design anything outside of a hatchback.

I like it!

From the back it looks a bit like a last gen ES330. I also saw a bit of MB CL in the front.

It will now just be called "CC".

My two cents:
It is ridiculous we have ANOTHER non luxury brand that refuses to use a name for their car, instead using letters or numbers.

I saw this car at the autoshow last week. I take back what I said previously. This car looks great!! Its a lot lower and sporty than I previously thought. The rear end is a little chunky(ridiculously big trunk :eek2:) but its so much better than these pics. The two toned interior looks absolutely amazing as well.
