The VW Passat CC is a nice car. My father in law has one in white, and its the Bluemotion version with full black leather interior. Hopefully we'll buy it off him second hand at a reasonable price in the future, fingers crossed.

I'd prefer the Merc taxi over VW

I thought the CC was bigger than the Mercedes, but I've never seen them together and the new US Passat is so huge it may be distorting my memory of the CC.

The CC is marginally bigger if I can recollect properly, but it's not like its a class above (size wise), they are pretty close.

Re: Mercedes CLA 250 - What do you think of it?
After seeing a number of initial reviews which were very positive (mainly focused on the styling), I'm now seeing more which are (like me) critical of the power levels (or lack thereof). But still, I bet they sell a boatload of them, just based on the price + that M-B badge on the hood.

In news related to the drift of this thread the new WRX was announced. In response I'm calling up a shop to order some new struts for my 2005 and having them grind off some rust that is starting behind two fenders. I'm sure it's good for another 140,000 miles.

Re: Mercedes CLA 250 - What do you think of it?
Personally I like the styling of the car, but there are two things that put me off:
A front wheel drive merc, not a real Mercedes. Although a 4wd version is coming. The other thing is the navigator on that. Why does it look like it was installed by a DIU mechanic?
First leg he will be thinking in Portuguese championship. Then he can go for WRC2.
