What I have to say about the 2013 CC: When I first saw this car being introduced the first thing that came to my mind, was a copier of Mercedes. Now, this necessarily isn't a bad thing because the CC comes at way lower price that the CC's main competitor the Mercedes CLS. It also is a better value and the styling has that coupe like roof line. Rear seat legroom isn't the best, the Passat has way more. The 2013 Model now features revised styling and a better interior. Everything is well put together in the Volkswagen nothing to complain about in material quality. All in all great car from Volkswagen, it also has nice fun to drive characteristics which should be a key selling point in the CC.
