I agree with Wombee that the CC tag is just confusing- It's a new term and everyone understands it as coupe-convertible... why not SC (saloon/sedan coupe)

looks good though- why would anyone by a top of the range Passat or a Phaeton now?

Something bothers, maybe the feeling that the ambience inside would be dark and not roomy, lower I mean. But it surely looks classy.

I agree, CC is a confusing nameplate. Does anyone else thinks the tail looks a bit jacked up? That said, it is still a ridiculously good looking car.

They will be way cheaper than the CLS, for the ones that really loves the 4 door coupe looks - as me - but don't have the money for the CLS, which Is obviously better looking.

this car will not have 160HP and 200HP TSI engine. that would be TFSI engines. which is just a direkt fuel port and turbo charged. while tsi has turbo and supercharger

No one shopping for a MB CLS or a BMW x6 will be running out to own one of these. I think the premium marques will do better in the niche. Besides that it is ok looking...not really beautiful and awkward from some angles...the tail is too high as are the sides of the car. Anyone else see the resemble and body shape not to the CLS but this is a mediocre copy of the CL class ( check out the full on side view) with 4 doors. VW needs to really stop shooting itself in the foot trying to be a luxury automaker...thats why it has Audi. This car 4door coupe thingy should have been left to Audi...at least then it would have been alot more attractive from the standpoint of design and price.

Ladies & Gentlemen I present to you the CC. The Camry Clone from Germany. Get your before the niche closes.

looks great. i like vw's preemptive strike to all these upcoming "4 door coupes". its about time someone took some of that market share from benz even if they arent in the same market.

Hmmm, the FWD proportions really mess up an otherwise clean design. I'm excited to see 4motion move to 32-bit processing and the CMOS camera proliferating down the vehicle market so quickly. This is just the beginning of many intrinsic benefits. (Imagine when the camera can be linked on the CAN to the electronic suspension & 4motion!) However, it also saddens me, considering actual driving images will be stored in a system cache (think blackbox) and OBDIII will allow access to this information from insurance companies and law enforcement agencies doing accident investigations... Keep the solid engineering coming VW.

I dont think its trying to compete with CLS, althought it might affect sales. But thats like saying all the sedans are competing with other sedans and same with hatch backs.

Will this car have run flat tyres? look at that tyre symbol to the right side of the gear - it looks like BMW's tyre symbol that flicks on whenever there is a loos of air and you use it to accept difffrent levels oftyre pressure..
