The wife has finally gotten a decent ride!!!

I am sure most on here dislike German cars, as I have in the past. i am a Mustang lover and not ashamed of it. However, this car is freaking amazing! VW CC VR6 4Motion with paddle shifters and Tiptronic tranny. Way too many little gadgets that I will never get comfortable with.

 

They made that CC pretty nice, looks good.

 

Thank you. She certainly deserves a fun ride. Special education teachers work long, hard hours!

 

pretty neat car. i remember first seeing that thing and thinking dang, thats a pretty good lookin VW.

 

Personally I think the CC is an awesome looking sedan. It would certainly be something I'd look at were I in the market for such.

 

We saw one for the first time a little over a month ago - a black one, in the parking lot of the Overland Park Soccer Complex. The only badging was the VW emblem on the nose and in the rear. I had no clue, but, much as we felt when we saw the concept for the 2005 Mustang for the first time, we both were instantly enamored. I researched online and found out what it was, did more research (Consumer Reports, visit a dealership, etc.)

Finally went for a test drive last Saturday, not believing she would pull the trigger - not yet! Boy, was I wrong. A few hours later there was a Teutonic sedan in the garage next to the GT.

I am still reading the owner's manual, discovering things everyday, as is the wife. There is just so much to it: paddle shifters on the steering wheel for the Tiptronic tranny, electric/heated everything, killer Dynaudio stereo system, All-wheel drive, 18 inch Daytona five-spoke wheels.

Sorry to bore anyone, but I am so glad she got something nice for herself.

 

they took MB idea/design and improved it.
i think it's a smooth car....

 

To me, the CC is a direct replica off the swoopy Mercedes. VW replicated the body shape into a smaller size. The car looks long, but when we pulled it into the garage, we found out it is shorter (length-wise) than her previous car, the Camry! I was shocked. VW did a great job making a small car look big.

 

car looks great!! Nice purchase and I agree it looks like the MB.

 

Thank you. Now we have the '07 Stang GT for nostalgia/muscle; the VW CC for German/Euro smoothness and technical; and the 2002 Highlander to haul all the soccer stuff all over God's green acres!

 

I guess that means you'll be in good shape to trade the Highlander in for a 2011 Edge or 2012 Explorer soon.

 

The Edge does get my attention. Gotta pay off the VW early, first!

 

My mother has the same car but with the 2.0t 4cyl engine and i freakin love it. Its such a smooth riding car and comfortable to. I drive the **** thing every chance i get lol.
