The VW CC come close I reckon to being the overhang king...



The Audi A4 is obviously the big loser in this competition...

Quite a deceptive picture of the G37 since the car isn't that low from the factory and isn't offered with the 19" G37 Coupe wheels.

Wow...I've got to say I'm impressed with the looks of the Volkwagen CC. It makes a good first impression.

Believe me, I was extremely disappointed that the 19" G37C wheels is an option. If I was to get the G37 AWD model, the 19" wheels will be something I'll get along with some sort of lowering kit package.

To kobi, pete and everyone else- consider this a warning. The incessant bickering and cluttering up of threads in 4G has become an epidemic. All of you need to re-read the rules for posting in 4G. There are located on the main page in a sticky.

Well the 3 series is even more dated as it appeared as an 06 model, G as an 07 model.

something is not right about the TL. The rear/front bumpers don't seem finished and the whole car has the cheap look to it versus the IS350 and G37.

It's nice looking from the front, but it's got a fugly rear end, almost ford-taurus-ish:



It's been almost as polarizing on the VW forums as the TL has been here!

I hope you're right, because the pictures aren't good. I might like the 2009 TL's tail better than the VW's.

Something interesting about this picture...

Honda/Acura vehicles normally have the fuel tank opening on the driver's side. This one is on the passenger side. Is this correct? I just looked at some other photos and all see that it's on the driver's side.

Hilarious! That's the first thing I noticed too, but didn't quite put it so eloquently in my own mind.

I had thought it was nice looking until I saw it from that angle. Not so much anymore.

Just proof that it would look good that way. I would buy a G37 sedan if they didn't rape you on the options.

With the TL's higher price point I don't see the G37 as being out of line any more.

the image was flipped to match the direction of the rest of the photos...you are actually looking at the driver's side.

The Enzo is out of production DISQUALIFIED!!! Sorry!

If u want a Ferrari to win try the F430....it has a huge front and zero rear overhang.

BTW to win you have to add both the front and rear overhangs!!!

So The Ferrari F430 seems like it beats the TL in front but overall loses.
