The CC initially looks more expensive, until you go to purchase one. I just leased a CC luxury with the technology package and BT (as loaded as a 2.0T can get). Sticker was over $36K and the cap cost was $31K, and on a purchase the CC is a lot of car for $31.

Plus, spend $6-700 on a chip reprogram and you’re making VR6 horsepower and getting 4 cylinder gas mileage. The 2.0 is definitely the better value IMO.

And no, never once while shopping did I stop and think…”wait, this thing looks like an Oldsmobile Aurora!”

I think it is funny that this has turned into a comment page on the Oldsmobile Aurora but oh well. I recently purchased a VW CC. I turned in my BMW 330I which I absolutely loved. I opted to find something comprable yet less expensive so I checked out the VW’s. I shopped quite a bit… Audi, BMW, Infinity, etc. I have to say that for the price, the VW CC was a great deal. The car is absolutely beautiful and it handles extremely well. Again I had a BMW 330I which handles unbelievable. I wouldn’t own anything that was not close to it. As for the VW lasting, I know many people with VW’s and they all love them and I hear no complaints. My car comes with a full service plan and full warranty which was also important to me. As for all you Olds fans, I’m sorry but you just can’t compare a modern day Olds to a German car. There is NO comparison on how they handle. I am a fan of the old Olds, the 442 maybe, but an Aurora… Give me a break! Once you drive a German car, it is hard to buy American or Japanese. They just handle better. If I have any problem s with my new CC I will definitely let you all know. If you are ready for a new car, go check out the VW CC. You can pick up the sport model turbo (which has ALL the same options except the sunroof) for 28K. Not bad for a car that drives the way it does and looks as classy as it does with the service and warranty it has.

This may be difficult for some of you to swallow, but the Oldsmobile Aurora was probably the nicest car to come from Oldsmobile. Not only was it, and is it about the safest sedan you can buy out there, the interior looked great and was easy to use, it was a nice handling car and looked good imho. As far as mechanics go, they had fairly good engines and reputations, but I’ve never owned one or worked on one. Its too bad you could pull the headliner off, since they only held them down with magnets and velcro. I give Gm that credit…

I agree with everyone that said the OLDS Aurora is and was piece of GM junk.
My mom had one and everything started falling apart after the 70K mark.
The Northstar was notorious for leaking oil after 70K.
The interior started falling apart as well.

Nice car. I would be a little concerned about the reliability of this car, as I am with all VW’s (their reliability over the last 10 years has been horrid, but I think has improved recently). But other than that, I would recommend it.

The Karman Ghia was a Porsche design effort for VW, ever wonder why the Beetle and Porsches look alike.

Need more oil for GM must be an employee of GM, and I feel bad for him/her. Having been sheltered their own life and brainwashed, he thinks that an Olds Aurora is actually a good car… wow. Somebody needs to take this person out of his little world (probably in Texas where the roads are as straight as uncooked spaghetti), and put him on a proper road, in a proper car.

It certainly does remind me of the CLS, but it’s much better-looking, especially toward the back, where the CLS’ rear really seems to be facing the pavement. A beautiful car, if you ask me. Fresh, cool, different design.

Olds Aurora? Are you blind? The Aurora was the epitome of classy design and GM went to great lengths to get the details right (One of the nicest interiors in history, class leading Northstar which no German POS could touch, handling, quality materials and high build quality) .

This car is in no way as nice as an Aurora and like Z51 said this is just another typical VW pile of crap.

The Volkswagen courtesy copy? Build something original V Dub, bring back the Karman Ghia or something.

This car really is stunning from all angles. I think it’s overpriced too, but when you compare it too a Mercedes-Benz CLS, its about half the price of the big bad Merc. And considering that the CLS is the only car one can actually compare it to… this CC is a bargain!
