The VW CC Gold Coast, based on the Passat, is a luxury sports coupe that showcases some very bold lines and a stunning paint job highlighted in the picture above.
This model features a 3.6l TFSI estimated to produce an output of 280 horsepower and 360Nm of torque. The DSG (double-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic)system can offer the advantage of choosing between fully automatic or full manual selection, DSG also changes gears more quickly and smoothly than a conventional transmission, while improving fuel economy which is a bonus in todays fuel crisis.
Bad news for New Zealanders is that this model goes on sale this year it wont be sold here in Aotearoa which is unfortunate for us as it looks a bute. When it goes on sale in America later in the year the estimated starting price will be approximately $27,000.

Went for a drive in the BMW M3 DSG the other day. If the box in the VW is 2/3 as good it will be fantastic.
As much as I have never liked the Merc CLS coupe-sedan (Falcon rear end, faddish, small glass area, ugly organic headlamps), THIS particular coupe-sedan from VW is the exact opposite.Not weird from any angle, sleek, and just all-around stunning. Far, far better than the current Passat sedan. Shame they won't sell it here.
I haven't driven a DSG yet, I hear they're good, but I may need to drive one for a lengthy period before getting the hang of the sequence. Either my left foot sits well on the footrest, or it hunts for a clutch while my wrist flicks.
The Volkswagen CC is really cool car. I like it!
