I went with the Volkswagen Passat CC despite being a hardcore Mercedes fan. I think the Passat CC looks fresher and sleeker and makes the CLS appear a little boring even. When I saw this baby at Geneva I knew Volkswagen has created a really stunning vehicle. Too bad I have not seen one on the road yet though.

The biggest drawback for the Passat CC is a FWD layout which might prevent more powerful engines from being offered in the future. I think a Passat CC 36 would have been awesome.
