    Autumn brown ftw! I although cw will be the next colour.
    Autumn brown changes its color but is difficult in wheel colour choice.

    I agree very understated colour on the CC.

    Saying the above though, the Black looks great on a CC to

    White with black rims, but I'm biased

    Seriously though, I think the lighter colours such as white and silver show the car's lines much better.

    Agreed, the lighter colours better show the lines. IMO though gun metal on a CW looks the best!

    I get shanked cause Autumn Brown (Gold dammit) doesn't look good with black / gun metal wheels, only silver..

    I tried to get anthracite rims, but they were not available at the time so settled for mat black. I've seen quite a few white Golfs lately with gloss black rims and I reckon they look shocking! A lot of X5 Bimmers with same too. Again, look awful IMO.

    For something different, and easier to find in the car park amongst the sea of whites, greys, blacks, and reds, I opted for the Night Blue Metallic. Looks good from what I've seen in the photos of the new model.

    It appears the wife can get a base model, no options Passat CC for a company car. She's pretty happy as she's been driving various SUVs, wagons & Falcadores that were function over form for the last 25 years.

    What colours hide the dirt the best? She rarely washes her car & it sits on the street 24/7. The brochure is hopeless & I doubt they have the full pallete at the dealer.
    White, black & anything close to black are out.

    BTW: what exterior colour matches the Truffle (red/brown?) interior?

    How does the corn silk beige hold up under the rigours of an active family (2 teenagers & a medium dog)?

    Yes, she should be choosing a Passat wagon but she loves the look of the CC & it isn't my money so I don't care.

    thx

    Brad,
    I just bought a used Passat CC in Reflex Silver. As much as a dark colour can look great, I'm very happy with my choice as:

    1. Silver hides dirt really well (it's same colour as girlfriends Mazda 2)
    2. Silver reflects heat well (though I have black interior with ventilated seats)
    3. The colour perfectly compliments the lugano alloys and brushed aluminium interior strips

    I hope this helps. Enjoy the purchase!

    Her new car has been in the driveway for 15,000km.

    Unfortunately, she had a brainfart & bought a Holden Captiva - burgundy if it makes any difference.

    Much dissapoint.
