There's a 5 seater Passat CC

There's a 5 seater Passat CC

Yup...the 5 seater is the Model now without the glassroof.

The Glassroof CC comes in 4 seater only

[DJ Q]

Does the CC compare to the 5 series/E Class or 3 Series/C Class?

[dogichi]

At that price point the CC will have to be compared to a 3 series and C class...the 5 series and E class is a different league at $650K+

[mammoo]

Does the CC compare to the 5 series/E Class or 3 Series/C Class?

I would say in between both, cuz it's bigger than the 3 Series/C Class and smaller than the 5 Series/E Class.

More features than the 3 Series/ C Class and not so much like the 5 Series/E Class

CC is a 2.0TSI (Turbocharged) doin 211HP with ACC (Adaptive Chassis Control) so road handling can be adjusted with the press of a button.

The CC is also 2" lower than the regular Passat.

The track & field is discontinued? If so that's quite a jump from he Trend to the Sport!

Why no 19" rims for the R-line? Looks better that way.

Have to say the R-line is pretty expensive considering if I spec up an Audi Q3 to a similar level it's about $450,000.

Depends on what you're looking for. CC is longer, but lower, narrower and has more than 3in shorter wheelbase than 3 series. Chances are it will feel much more closed in. Same 0-60 as 320i also. 2015 C class will be bigger than both bmw/CC. So maybe you can't just say it's 'bigger than 3 series and C class'. And features also depend on what you're looking for.
As always, it's just a matter of what an individual wants and can afford.

cerato and mazda 3 almost the same price ... koreans will lose their advantage since they lost their price point advantage

Wouldn't that be dependant on what the base mazda comes with?

Depends on the buyer. A base 3 is still gonna come with a lot of features. Once the price is close a buyer is inclined to overlook a few features between two cars based on their preferences. Keep in mind a cerato used to be 170 and a Mazda 3 has been just over 200k for years. People buying a cerato before we're swayed more by price than by features. Now the price difference is negligible.

But the features in the cerato have improved as well. I'm really looking forward to the 3 though. Probably would have bought that instead if it was out in December. Hopefully my wife is impressed when she sees it and gets it.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Haven't checked out the new cerato myself. What features have improved in the new cerato?

[DJ Q]

^Cruise Control
Climate Control
Bluetooth
Push button start
Trunk Size
DRLs
iPhone/iPod integration

Those are the few that pop up in my head over the last Cerato

Have to say the R-line is pretty expensive considering if I spec up an Audi Q3 to a similar level it's about $450,000.

The Track and Field is by Special Order only, reason being is that the demand for that Model has been considerably slow, so we have decided to take special orders only.

This new model R-Line Tiguan didn't have the option for 19" Rims and also in our opinion here at BA, the 18" Mallory Wheels are much better looking and the ride is better (more tire to absorb our bad roads).

Also, we don't compare the Audi Q3 to a Tiguan. The Q3 is wayyyyy smaller than the Tiguan. The Q3 size is comparable with the Nissan Juke. And as for what you're getting in a Tiguan R-Line, the Q3 with those options would be more than $500k IMO.

[acesinghit]

The Tiguan is 47mm longer, 22mm slimmer and 78mm taller than the Q3. Your point of the Q3 being "wayyyy smaller than the Tiguan" is misleading. Your comment may make someone think the Tiguan is the size of a T31 Xtrail and the Q3 is the size of a Daihatsu Terios. I agree with your pricing strategy though but you all are now very close to Audi's pricing, closest I've seen in a while.

The original comes in thai along with a seperate translated version and all the supporting documentation including a pint of paint in the vehicle's color.

I agree with your dimensions on size specs. However we've had a few customers comparing this already until we got a customer who bought one to come in to compare it. The wayyyyy smaller would more relate to the back seat headroom and boot space. The Q3 has poor reviews in that area as well.

[dogichi]

If I had to choose VW over Audi.....I would choose Audi, especially when the prices are this close.

[Renaldo25]

Princes similar yes but not if you getting more car for your money with VW

WoW $20K for Xenon and LED

[trini mk5]

Mad man prices

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Interesting that the jetta has increased $15k in pretty much one jump.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Edit: double post

[greggle71]

A lot on the road now; seems like the initial stock issues on the Jetta been resolved

[drchaos]

The price rose a while ago but they dropped for a special due to an overstock i think ... Overstock is over so back up to the higher price!

Jetta configured at VW.co.uk with the same spec 17's, sunroof and fabric = 25,945 GBP so pretty close to european prices!

[ShoppersFreezone]

Anyone knows why the same Hilux 4x4 3.0 turbo Diesel costs $31 000 more in leather than in fabric? Besides the obvious leather interior, what makes it worth the $31 000 more????
