Passat CC in the flesh

I reckon the Fan's will be amongst the hardest in the world to clean though!

And here's another thought, they're actually directional - as in they're rotating in such a way as, if they were in fact a fan, they would be blowing air out, rather than in.....if you get my meaning?!

The correct way for wheels to vent for brake cooling is by drawing air out through the wheel. These FAN wheels must be awesome for that.

Hmmm...those Interlagos wheels do look good!
I wonder if you can order an R36 with those as a direct swap?

It'd be even better if they were available in 19".

Check out the wheel choices on the link. Plenty available but BIG dollars

I Agree the do look great, saw them plus a mk6 and the new Skoda Superb down at the local dealership when i was in for a serervice yesterday.


Apparently there is a robust ute in hiding somewhere around melbourne for the motor show too.

Hmmm - that site values the R36 wheels as more exxy than the Interlagos.
Wonder if that'll hold any sway over a dealer?

Lennock have one on the showroom floor and a few in their holding bay. They look pretty good.

Nice to get an up close look at some of the Mk6 Golf switch gear too.

Yep. If you're gonna change em, do it right. Same with tyres.

No prizes for getting that answer right.

Got my invitation to the official public viewing of the CC on March 2nd.

Already seen it of course but nice to get invited.

Saw one yesterday at the dealership, personal I still prefer R36. =)

[Swallowtail]

Looked at the CC yesterday... black one with privacy glass, tan leather interior. Very nice. If it had 3 back seats I'd buy one instead of the R36 - more subtle.

Fair enough, but if you go for the V6 version, it's got the same engine as the R36. And it's pretty loaded with lots of goodies!
