Vroom, I noticed in your second picture, look at the panels just below the date. Another panel that isn't fitting quite right?

Hummm I may have to take this up with the Dealer next time I'm there, pretend to be a Audi quality control inspector I'm the form of a teenager

I think that what has happen with the current Passat in comparission with the old one is the same case than with the Audi B8 and B7 A4, better quallity feeling.

And by the way, reading coments about W211 door panels, I can also say that they are class leadding in quallity, the leather on the doors is fantastic.

I wonder if the new SEAT Exeo, with its B7 Cabriolet interior is going to be better than its more expensive brother, the A4 B8.

Previous generation Passat was among the best in it's class , it was very close to A4 and 3 series. VW's cost cutting measures have hurt the new model very much.

I have never driven the CC but according to the magazines the plastics are very improved over the sedan.

On the other hand if you are right and it's close to A4 then i imagine that means it's on the same level with 3 series also.

Well, it's close to the 3er for sure. I wouldn't say on the same level exactly, but very close. It's far less plastic than a normal A4 though.
The Passat CC has very pretty ambient lighting at night too. Looks pretty sweet when driving on a dark road!!! Does the A4 have ambient interior lighting too????

This may be an issue for a person comparing a VW to an Audi, but when you compare a VW to a Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevy, etc. the VWs still have the better interiors. Maybe not head and shoulders above anymore, but still better. Even the Jetta has a better interior than your average Honda or Toyota that costs thousands more.

Very good point!! Because the interior of the Seat Exeo is really well build. Looks great…well the B7 interior…

…but this makes a Seat even more interesting.

This would make me buy a Seat - I also like the exterior of the Exeo! So why should I buy an Audi A4 - when I can get same quality for less money.
