What are you babbling about?? MB's CLS has got better proportions and sleeker design because of its rear wheel drive conception (short front overhang). This VW looks pretty fine, eventhough it reminds me of the new Ford Mondeo under certain angles, plus dashboard almost identical to regular Passat. Had expected a more dramatic approach.

Nice average looking car but it does not say coupe-styling to me and it comes nowhere close to the standard set by the MB CLS. Perhaps this is the way the Passat should have looked from the beginning or then again it does remind me of a Volvo/VW hybrid.

Disappointed.. Looks TO much like the ordinary Passat. And the taillights ruins the whole rearend of the car.. A shame..

designerr - Are you out of your mind buddy ? How can you compare this cheap passat looking wanna be cls to a gorgeous CLS , have you seen cls in person to say that ? i'm not a benz fan or lover or anything but i just can't stand when people talk out of their ass.

This car looks like a stretch Phaeton...however i will agree that it does a better job than MB in incorporating the rear into the design (overall still not better looking). There is more rise towards the rear in the VW. Still wouldn't buy this thing, i would wait for it's cousin from Audi. That is actually worth the money unlike the overpriced VWs now

That one won't have a cousin from Audi. The A7 will be a completly new construction basing on the next generation Audi A6. The first A7 concept drawings look much better than this one . This Passat isn't as beautiful as VW could have done it,but i suppose it would look much better black and with titan interior decorations. Comparing this to the CLS is quite stupid. This Passat will probably cost 30.000- 50.000 ?. A MB CLS beginns at 60.000 ? and ends at 150.000 ?. Two totally different classes. Nontheless the CLS will get hard competitors like the Audi A7 (2009), the Porsche Panamera (2010), the BMW 8-Series (2010) and the Aston-Martin Rapide (2009).

eddy, start with the basics, and that is the point the a7 is/will be much more attractive...also we are talking design cues, which isn't or shouldn't be influenced by price.

The first VDUB that doesn't have the emotional styling applied as an afterthought, yet it still hangs on to too many styling cues from the past, where the MB CLS has a bold and true design idea executed all the way - this one is looking like a great idea that got pulled back by the old school thinkers too many times. the side has more lines and panel breaks in the surface than the last gen 3 series, which was a mess. But I think its a better design than the desperate Audi attempts with the curved belly line applied to a pure rational design, aka A6 or so...

muellr, what are you on about mate? The A6 is an amazing looking car (in my opinion, the most beautiful car ever designed, excluding the A5). But as to this stretched Passat, I don't think it has a great overall design. The initial design of the Passat was not meant to be distorted into a 4-door coupe. Maybe it would have looked better if the designers had started from scratch and come up with a brand new image. I'm sorry VW, this is not a convincing design.

o designer your talking about GLK na i'm sure standart version of GLK will look very good in person but that concept with silver moldings on it and hideous rims is ugly , but i really don't like this VW

I am agree with u dolcegabbana about the standard version of glk,but i like vw,its clear that the passat is cheaper than mb.but it has some strong DNA.

Greatest Limousine that VW has ever made! For this moment one of the most interesting models from the VW family. Class well pleased between the Passat and Phaeton but with more sportier character (Da Silva?s work). With the chrome wheels I can just see which ass are now kissing (American). But that?s business!

And what's with those ill-integrated rear parking sensors? Even a compact Hyundai does better. I am definitely disappointed with this car, and what's the point anyway? Apparently VW hasn't learnt from the Phaeton mistake, and instead of making a true luxury 4-door coup???? as an alternative to the upcoming new A8 we get this and, most likely, another watered down A8 clone (new Phaeton)...

Don't forget the upcoming Phaeton will most likely be based on the Audi A6 series platform rather than the A8 one.

I understand that many potential buyers of MB's CLS would never consider an equivalent car wearing the VW badge, no matter how luxurious or refined, so the A7 makes sense. Now, it reminds me of the unexpected Golf Plus trick in Europe a couple of years ago, while regular Golf sales were fading: this car looks like an improvised US version (mixture of Ford Mondeo, Oldsmobile and Hyundai) to boost local sales, somehow like US Accord vs euro Accord. A new Phaeton still makes no sense to me, be it on Audi's 6 or 8 platform.
