Yup exactly why I can't do it. Do a fully loaded CC for around $37K-$38K and I see it as a bigger hit, but at $42K for loaded VR6 (not even AWD) I woudl rather get a 4G SH and keep my eyes closed as I approach and leave the car.

If you look at the Phaeton, it is a remarkable car with awesome features and advanced technology but it failed in NA mainly due to marketing. Over in Europe though the last i checked it was still selling strong and doesnt have the same marketing problem as over here.

Yeah, because over they a VW, Audi, MB and BMW are seen more like we see our domestics, I mean the taxi I got in in Amsterdam was a MB!

Keith,

If you can still remember these kind of details, you didn't spend enough time in Amsterdam!

for me, the styling of the CC looks a bit weird. I like the normal Passat better.

You can get the AWD 4Motion for the 39K, but not fully loaded. i like the car but the lease rates were off the charts, over $100 per month over a TL SHAWD.
