It bears a resemblance to the jag that I am toying over flipping my Merc ML for.

But it's not the jag, there are plenty of differences.

It's the new Volks Wagen Passat CC! What started out as the ugly duckling in the VW family a long time ago has grown into this

It's a good looking vehicle, IMO.

That XF is not yet available stateside. Although I am considering trading in my S-Type, when it does become available.

It's quite nice looking...I just hope that the quality will increase as well. I thought about getting a new Passat until I checked Consumer Reports. Not to mention my coworker had issues with 2 Passats that he owned.

I'd like to see other angles, but it looks like VW has designed a very beautiful car. I'd like to see VW step up and produce a car to compete more against someone like Lexus. I have many family members who own Lexus autos and they are nice cars and very pleasant to ride in, but I hate driving them because of how numb feeling they are. No personality and way to blah styling for me. Be nice to see a VW on that level, tho.

Looks like VW has hit a home run with the styling!

That's smokin hot. We had a Passat. It was a great car except fotr the gremlins that lived inside the locks.

We'd be driving and the locks would start going up and down on their own. Sometimes they would fire off for 5-10 seconds at a time. Up down, up down up down It got to be annoying. Other than that it was a great car.

The car was under warranty the whole time we had it and the dealer was of no help either. Think big T of car dealerships. That's the only reason we don't own another Passat. I just don't want to have to deal them again.

I'm on my 11th VW and my second Passat or "ugly duck". Never had issues with mine. Both have run like a top.
I sure like the updated design though. Very nice.

Wait and get the Xf diesel its due out in mid March.
Dealers will be getting theirs around February.

I had a look at a green one today and it looks great.

I'm not bias (x type estate driver) + working for a Jag dealer .
