New CC?

[Pullstarter]

Hi Guys,
Anyone heard anything about when/if there will be a new CC model?

Mid next year a facelift will appear here but be revealed between either LA Auto Show in November or April at NYIAS.

I could see you in one of those Simon. Will probably be my next car- as long as they get the styling right. Are there any pics around yet?

Thanks Phaeton, we can always rely on you for the latest info I do prefer the styling a lot more than the stock Passat, but then there's the added cost of course

Be interesting to see what they do with the pricing. Problem is, the current CC pushes the pricing into a whole different league and I'm not convinced VW has the cred to do that just yet. Maybe they will 'review' the pricing - OR, put some real effort into making it a worthy competitor in that price range (including the styling).

Well the other option is to buy an 18mth to 2 year old one. There's some good low km examples around with all the doo dads for around 45-50k.

VOLKSWAGEN UNVEILS NEW CC

Volkswagen's stylish four-door coupe receives major updates for the 2013 Model Year, including freshened front and rear styling

Wolfsburg - When the Volkswagen CC debuted four years ago, it was the first affordably priced four-door coupe on sale in the U.S. What looked at first like a niche has developed into a completely new segment: nearly 270,000 people around the world have bought Volkswagen's sedan that has the looks and heart of a sports car. The CC mixes practicality with style and attainability.

Volkswagen is presenting a technically and visually updated version of the vehicle at the LA Auto Show, held at the LA Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles between November 18 and 27. With new front and rear styling and an extended range of standard equipment that includes Bi-Xenon headlights with the Adaptive Front Lighting System and LED taillights, the new CC makes an even bolder statement in the entry-luxury class. The 2013 Volkswagen CC will go on sale in the Spring in the U.S.

That looks noice... wonder what they have done to the interior in order to diferentiate it from the Passat seing as the B7 had pretty much caught up to the MY11 CC...

the prevous one had a touch of Salvador Dali all over it, this thing as a more angular bottom half but still with the big swoopy roofline... but that is picking nits...
