Well it’s simple, really. You can dress a VW Passat up in whatever you like in the same way that you can dress me up in whatever you like. But underneath I’m still the same clod-hopping, fat, wheezing, middle-aged man.

I reviewed a CC today myself, by CL request. His car had the VR6, AWD, DSG, and an adjustable suspension...mine didn't.
His review verified that the DSG is still available in Europe....something that the VW people told me today. Here in America, VW is generally replacing it with the Tiptronic.
Looks like he agreed with me on the low roof banging heads, the well-finished trunk, the restricted back seat, and the eye-opening interior. He doesn't seem quite as enamored with the DSG, though, as I was on the previous ones I've tested. Most of the rest of what he says, though, seems to be mostly about image.

I'm not sure about the Camry, but the non-U.S. market Accord is substantially smaller than the American-spec version. The smaller, overseas-market Accord is actually marketed here as the Acura TSX.

I like the design. usually the low roof lines that look sporty and slek result in a roof line that will not allow comfortable commuting for the fat and tall americans its trying to make its customers

That is why I note headroom and ease of entry/exit for taller persons in my reviews (and apparantly, so does Clarkson, if it is an issue). This is an important consideration for people considering the vehicle purchase...or carrying tall people in the back seat.

Further back still, we find a boot that is vast, and as we slam it we’re left scratching our heads. Cavernous, well priced, good looking and nicely trimmed. So where’s the catch? Apart from the municipal golf club handle.
