Anyone around the office that’s known me for any length of time knows that the less-than-stellar quality experience I had with my fourth-gen GTI left quite an impression on me. So, I’m still an admitted VW skeptic. But I have to admit I was a big fan of the original CC’s styling. When I first saw photos of the 2013 restyle, I thought VW had “ruined” the CC by trying to rigidly apply its new, more conservative corporate design language to this formerly flamboyant, stylish four-door coupe. Thankfully, the restyle looks much more coherent in person. Another added bonus as part of the restyle is the optional addition of a middle seatbelt in the back row, making it a snug, but useable five-seater. I think this will do a lot to expand the CC’s appeal, even if the extra seat is never actually utilized. I still think my Sonata is nearly as stylish as the CC, and infinitely roomier and more practical, but kudos to VW for a tasteful update.
