NAIAS 08: VW Passat CC

**Rex Raider** · 01-13-2008, 01:25 PM

The Volkswagen Passat CC is a sedan with the long, curved roofline of a coupe. VW plans to launch in the Passat CC in Europe this summer, and in the United States late this year.

i like the lines.. mostly in the rear.. it looks nice.. much better than the current one

Looks pretty good. I like the lines. The front end does look a bit wide though.

So much better than the awkward looking version they have on the US Market right now. In fact its the first good looking VW with their new design language. I'm not a fan of the new Jetta or Golf (i'm sorry Rabbit). Almost has a CLS vibe to the rear... I like.

is this a second take for the phaeton?

It's good looking, but an answer to a question no one asked.

"Nein, ze Americans vant an even more overpriced Passat."

The back is ugly.

ooooh.

I like those leather seats. Very not bad.

rob2299usa · 01-13-2008, 01:54 PM

It's "eyes" are too widely spaced and the back is ugly. The interior looks really nice if a little bland.

peterj2706 · 01-13-2008, 01:54 PM

Looks very nice, but I do not like the bin in the middle of the back seat. If they wanted to put a console, put one, not just a hunk of metal which makes the middle totally useless. Otherwise I love it, much nicer than my wife's Passat.

Great interior. Exterior kind of says Accord to me.

EllwynX · 01-13-2008, 02:00 PM

Nice looking. First REALLY nice looking VW I've ever seen. Far better than it has looked the last few years.

Looks bigger though.

The Law · 01-13-2008, 02:06 PM

Opel's GTC looks much better.
Why would VW want to go into Audi's market?
That just leaves room for Saturn-Saab to undercut and take sales.
