easy answer, they should keep the standard Passat alive for people like me who see it as the classy option, I find the styling of the CC tarty and more than a little blingy.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isnt this a 4 seater and the Passat a 5 seater?

Also, I guess covering all bases, i.e. offering the CC as well as the standard Passat, probably makes economic sense.
