Default Bit of a looker, me thinks.

VW Passat CC (2008 onwards model) - First Drives | Reviews | MSN Cars UK. Nice looking car (looks like a mini Phaeton) for the money.

VW seem to go from strength to strength.

Does look ok but it seems to take styling from loads of different cars if you see what i mean

That's one big car. Just a vew years ago, Passats were quite small.

That looks more like as big as an Audi A6. Which itself is probably bigger than the last generation A8.

What I find weird is that the profile is very Merc CLS but while the CLS looks best in black, the CC looks better in silver. Nice looking car. Should make a few company car drivers happy.

I have a current generation Passat estate and it is bigger than an A6 - at least in terms of boot space it is.

The CC is a great looking car.

It will look boring very quickly! After seeing a few it will just look like the rest of the dull rep cars

Agree

It looks quite nice but if you look at it long enough you can see its just like a hatchback version of a the saloon, so then starts to look ordinary. Quite pleasant though, just not as striking as first thought

Anyone else of the opinion that this is what the Passat SHOULD have looked like in the first place?
