Over the weekend, I have attended the 2010 Hyundai Sonata (YF) Preview in Hyundai Glenmarie Elite Outlet. At the first sight, the car looks amazing and changes my perception towards Korean Cars in-terms of design, features and technology. Besides the car reminds me the Mercedes Benz CLS, I think it looks identical to Volkswagen Passat CC too. Probably, those cars design with similar shape as 4-door Coupe.
In the other article, we have covered the preview of the YF Sonata. However, I think I am more tempted to show you another beauty from Volkswagen, the Passat CC.
The Volkswagen Passat CC is a 4-door coupe that debuted back in January 2008 at North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Basically, the CC stands for Comfort Coupe and marketed as a more luxury model over the standard Passat. This car is designed based on A5 (PQ46) platform like the Passat but the CC is longer, lower, wider and of course Sportier.
Back in October 2009, Volkswagen Group Malaysia had announced the availability of the Passat CC and Scirocco to the Malaysian market. Both models are offered with EA888 2.0 R4 16v TSI/TFSI turbo-charged engine (2.0L TSI) that producing 200PS (147kW) @ 5,100-6,000rpm and 280Nm @ 1,700-5,000rpm. Don’t worry, the engine is RON 95 compatible. Initially, the Passat CC is powered by 6-speed Tiptronic Auto Transmission to front wheel. But now, you will get the 6-speed Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) instead in the 2010 imported models. The car was initially designed with only 4 seats, but the option of 5 seats has been taken by VGM for all 2010 imported models too. Therefore, you won’t be able to find the rear center console anymore.

Lately, there is a report by Edmunds’ Auto Observer from United States of America correctly points out that the rest of the sports car market isn’t faring nearly so well even for the Japanese Line-up. It shows that sports cars like the once hot Nissan GT-R, with only 106 sales in April, are now struggling for sales. Porsche 911 sales are down 18 percent from a poor 2009, only 428 Mazda RX-8s have been sold in 2010 and Nissan failed to sell 1,000 copies of the fun to drive 370Z.
Therefore, let’s share your thoughts and take the poll below.
