I saw one today. It is reminiscent of an M-B CLS, but I think it is a handsome car.My photo:

Nice, but the amber signals are throwing me off. I'm picky.

No, you're completely right. They look horrible on there. Easily smoked though.

It is a nice looking car... But I find it funny that while other companies can make a good/sporty looking sedan from the get go, VW produces an OK looking sedan, then comes out a few years later with a good looking sedan but calls it a "4 door coupe"  .
"Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose." - Jimmy Carter, 1978

That must be at the port in Davisville.I had the opportunity to drive one, in black on black. It's definitely very nice. I noticed many Audi-like refinements to the interior bits and switches.

Plenty of pics from the auto shows last year. How many do you want? 
Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.

Possibly a new A4 Avant. They have had a few down at the port, IIRC.

From this angle at least, it appears the CC is pretty damn tall. It's nearly as tall as the Q7 & Touareg.

Nowhere near as tall, they had them at Routan training I went to yesterday and we got to drive them on a closed course as a reward for looking at minivans all day-quite a nice car!

Nope, it has amber reflectors in the side of the headlight cluster. They could have made it clear

i've seen a few on the road already, and a few on trucks, not a bad looking car. It did turn my head, but, i always turn my head when i see a special car, like everyone on here. A new car model = special. lol

I like it - it's really has it's own distinct style, maybe a sort of "acquired taste", it'll take some getting use to but I think it'll be a success. Check out the Fifth Gear episode where they pit it again the Merc.

Even easier to replace with the Euro-market OEM clear ones  Definitiely the first mod for what I think is otherwise a very handsome car, in the flesh.
