VW R36 Passat vs V6 Passat CC

[gead]

the CC looks the business until you get past the c pillar....i think the rear end treatment looks appalling...like a melted ice block acompared with the chiseled aggression of the front....

if you could graft the front of the CC onto the r36 wagon....

...or the backend of an AU Falcon!

Lol the AU comment applies to the Merc CLS as well though. Seriously though, in real life I reckon the CC looks great, front rear or side on

LOL, you do have to see one in real life. But I guess that the styling does polarise opinions.

A quick update - my CC is on order.

I'm currently choosing between the R36 Sedan vs. the V6 Passat CC.

Both the missus and I are leaning heavily towards the CC at this stage. A few reasons:
1) The CC's styling makes it look a million dollars
2) I rarely use the rear passanger seats as I'm in the car 95% of the time and we have an 18 month old daughter, by the time she gets old enough I'll be in another car.
3) The rear head room wasn't too much of an issue. Wearing a cap it brushes the roof, otherwise it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
4) Coming from a slightly modded WRX STi I was actually attracted to the R36 originally! But looking at the CC made me like it even more. I did have grand plans to track my STi, but that never eventuated, so the money may as well go to refinement/prestige.
5) We have a second car for extended family usage which eases the choice towards the CC.

The CC will be a real winner for VW.

Without it in the market I wouldn't have necessarily ordered an R36. Whichever way the customer goes, it's a win for VW.

I think a lot of R36 owners here have a similar story of being attracted by the CC and ending up in an R36.

I agree with the backend styling problem crowd. I think it's the one area the car loses focus though it has grown on me somewhat.

Lol, from Sti to CC. I can understand why though - after years of putting up with the Sti's hard ride, what luxury the CC will be! And I reckon it will give the Sti a run for its money too!

The person most suprised about that was me I did have a look at the EVO X, but it's too small and the boot would be challenging to fit prams etc. Also, I don't feel like being raced by 'P' platers during school holidays with the little one in the back...

Test drive is this Saturday so will see how it goes.
