"  While VW is poised to relaunch the Passat as an American-built Camry and Accord fighter, a little further up the line the larger CC toils away in relative anonymity, offering a luxury experience at a surprisingly affordable price. The handsome sedan subscribes to the coupe-as-4-door styling philosophy and has a sleek, steeply raked backlight that in profile recalls the original Mercedes CLS. VW has done a terrific job with its interiors, reflected in the quality of the materials and the precision with which all the elements fit together. This 4-seater offers plenty of room, and while it has a massive panoramic glass roof, don&amp;#039;t expect it to open like a conventional sunroof; it only lifts to provide ventilation. And when it&amp;#039;s hot out, there is considerable solar gain in the cabin if the sunshade is left open. The Lux Limited version, in addition to offering the aforementioned glass roof, also comes with sat nav, 18-in. wheels and tires, 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and dual zone climate control. While the top of the line Passat offers a 280-bhp 3.6-liter V-6 and all-wheel drive, the front-drive Lux Limited does just fine with its 2.0-liter turbo four, which has 200 bhp on tap and delivers 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. The CC is imbued with the chassis dynamics for which German automakers are noted: crisp turn-in, and direct steering with great road feel.
