Find Of The Day: Stunningly Stylish Silver CC

Are you in the market for a stylish sedan that sticks out from the crowd? Our latest Find of the Day will definitely get you noticed. And its beauty is more than skin-deep: it’s in great shape with a low asking price.

The Volkswagen CC is an interesting model for Volkswagen. This fashion-forward sedan sheds the traditional VW image of upright and practical sedans. It’s a car for those looking for something more stylish than a regular sedan. But don’t let those sexy lines fool you; underneath the curvy body, it’s basically a previous-gen (B6) Passat. Those underpinnings give it a solid ride and predictable Germanic handling. But it’s no sports car.

Or is it? VWVortex member AndreiMTM has taken his 2013 CC to new levels. To start, the car sits on ST coilovers, so it not only looks nice but it corners well too. The 19″ Audi S5 wheels with sticky Firestone summer tires also sharpen up the handling. The 2.0T engine sports a Unitronic Stage 1 tune and a Go Fast Bits diverter valve. There’s even EBC rotors and pads to increase stopping power.

The enhancements continue inside the CC. There’s a “Premium” gauge cluster in the dash, LED interior lights, European cupholder, and a GLI flat-bottom steering wheel. Sounds like a nice place to spend time in.

This 2013 CC has been very well maintained. Scheduled service all occurred on time. The seller has replaced the timing chain, timing chain guides, water pump, serpentine belt, and a bunch of other bits. One interesting bit: it has a new DSG transmission with only 1,000 miles.

So if you’re in the market for a car that doesn’t blend into the crowd, this could be just the one for you. AndeiMTM recently lowered the price to $11,500. This 2013 VW CC is somewhere in Michigan. Check out the ad in our classifieds.

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...
