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.

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.

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.
