VWoA debuts CC Gold Coast Edition at Pebble Beach...with DSG! | « » 11:17 PM 8-15-2008 | |
|
This is the first Passat to be equipped with the DSG in the U.S. I believe. What's interesting is that I believe it's also the first application in a car with more than 350Nm of torque.
2009 Jetta TDI"I interviewed the late Steve Yokich, then UAW president, almost ten years ago. When I suggested that Detriot might be putting too many eggs in one basket with its utter devotion to SUVs at the expense of passenger car development and asked if the union might take a position in favor of more economical cars, he started screaming at me." -Jamie Kitman, Automobile

There are no pics of this special edition anywhere. Everyone is just using the VW press release. I thought that VW said real auto only for the CC?

 Autoblog had this to say about it also: Volkswagen has used the occasion of this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to unveil its new CC Gold Coast edition. The most obvious change that sets the CC GC apart from more plebian CCs is the tri-coat paint – DuPont's light brown 'Pepe Pepper' to be specific, which reportedly has gold, brown and silver tones all mixed in for your ocular pleasure. Of course, such a high-end exterior color must be paired with an equally special interior hue, in this case it's leather done up Starbucks-style in 'Latte Macchiatto Cornsilk' with Bronze Piping on the seats and matching accents on the dash and door trim. Also on the docket are 19-inch propeller style wheels that fill the wheel arches rather nicely. A unique ground effects package rounds out the visual mods. Underhood is the familiar 3.6-liter TFSI engine with 280 horsepower and 265 lbs.-ft of torque mated to the automaker's stellar DSG double-clutch 6-speed automatic transmission. We know the regular CC is arriving this fall with a starting price tag around $27,000, but no details on the availability or pricing of the Gold Coast edition have been released yet.

Love the new style and direction VWOA is trying to go here. Very nice looks and interior setup but come on... What is the NA Spec version really going to look like?!?! Maybe another 4-6 inches taller and half the options as the Euro Spec version. I still like the look of it though and can't wait to actually test drive one!!

As much as I want to bash on VWOA I have to admit that I think that this looks stunning. BUT, I bet this is a Euro spec car and that by the time the US spec car is released (IF it's REALLY released) it will change and not be THIS.

Very suprised that VW is making this car (though in limited quantities). But I have to say its great looking, inside and out. Too bad the US version will be higher as previously noted. And will have amber reflectors somewhere on the front corner, and possibly red rear blinkers  Buick copied the Phaeton a while back, particularly on the tail end. The CC is just following the Phaeton's styling lead.

I have a feeling it will come with 17" wheels, cloth interior, basic options for that 27 grand, oh and it wont look nearly as low, and they have to add those tacky US side markers On the other hand if it really does look like good, maybe I will buy one

I think this will be overpriced when (if ever) released into the wild aka US. Unfortunatly following the same fate as the phaeton. Don't get me wrong, I like this car allot other than the four ugly doors that should be replaced with just two. What is up with VW not making a 2 dr other than the GTi, R32 and few golfs? Now the GTi comes with 4drs!!! And calling this a sport coupe??? LAME.

I know, they're just alike!  Seriously though, I too am not totally sold on the rear of it, but overall, it's pretty well done. The interior would work well in an Audi....or dare I say it, even a Bentley.
