I've had red Benz's and metallic green Jags, certainly more entertaining than the common plain silver-gray.

I've always liked the dark blue and red that comes on the Tiguan and Toureg. IMO VW needs to offer some more exciting colors for this beautiful car.

Its sadly one of the reasons VW does so poorly here. If you talk to their dealers and salesmen, VW sends them cars they cannot sell or people don't want. Weird colors and options or no options. Tons of Routegs, no GTis. Now we see here no colors.

I would imagine that people buying a CC are not the kind of people that buys a CC with "when in doubt" in mind...the Passats there for them.

Yeah, VW used to have cool colored cars. Harlequin anyone?

You mean the Routan or the Toureg? Or both?

All VW products. It hurts sales b/c consumers may want a VW and they go to the dealer and the allocation is awful.

I just wonder what the resale value would have been on a vehicle like that.

I dunno...resale might be interesting. There's a Japanese site dedicated to Harlequin and there apparently has been a few that's been resprayed b/c it didn't sell. Then again, I've seen cars that's been painted to imitate the Harlequin.

Anywho, the CC needs more colors since it's such a bold car!!

I thought those Golfs were called "Benetton Edition"

Anyway, you would think a car like the CC would attract buyers with personality.
Classy, saturated colors would definitely make the CC look better.
Maybe Black Cherry, Dark Green, Midnight Blue... even a copper-orange
might be a nice change.

Silver... black? Yawn...
