"A Premium German Sedan"
Pros: Tuetonic isolation at high speeds
Steering feel with great feedback/weight
Screaming narrow angle VR6 with great low RPM growl
Interior quality that trumps competing Japanese products in this pricerange
German build qualityCons: No DSG
Summary: The "B6" Passat has always been a premium luxury sports sedan, especially in top VR6 trim. The CC improves the already gorgeous interior to levels of fit/finish of a premium Audi sedan. Driving dynamics are akin to the Audi A4. The 3.6 VR6 is a highly sophisticated variable timed, directly injected motor which sounds great at high RPM and has a burbly BMW-like exhuast note when rolling around in town. This car offers many "premium" features that even some of $30K class of cars doesn't offer - AFS Bi-Xenon lighting, backup camera, 600 watt audio system, etc. I've driven the new 2009 Acura TL and the fit/finish and overall build quality is nowhere near this car, which is puzzling for a car that starts at $36K. Unlike the CC, with it's vast array of soft-touched and expertly damped interior components, the Acura TL looks like a stylized Accord, with the same harsh, flibsy, cheap plastics. The ELS audio system also was inferior to the Dynaudio unit in the CC. Overall, a premium car, with a premium price tag. Remember, Volkswagen owns Audi, Buggati, Lambo, and Bentley - they know a thing or two about world class build quality. The Passat and the new CC are obviously more refined than their closest Japanese peers and offer a tuetonic feel that Tokyo has yet to really enmulate.
No lane departure (not sure why review mentions this)
No Active Chassis Control
