CC Performance

The CC is VW's sport/luxury coupe (with 4-doors), and so it has a few sport features thrown into that mix of luxurious amenities. One of which is VW's famous 2.0 TSI engine. The same engine used in our performance oriented GTI. It sports a whopping 200 horsepower and 207 pounds of torque out of a tiny, fuel efficient four cylinder. Whats really nice about it is the direct-injection technology. Fuel is atomized directly into the combustion chamber for a more even burn, providing better fuel efficiency and more low-end torque; something VW is famous for! Torque is that passing power, that force that slams you into the CC's bolstered sport seats as you accelerate. Couple this engine up with VW's Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) transmission, and you've got a little rocket that will fly through every gear shift in less than one tenth of a second! Don't blink!

Fortuna Red is Coming!!!

With all the hype around the new models, its easy to forget about upcoming changes to a model that was already released. I'm talking about the new color for the 2013 CC, Fortuna Red. The color was mentioned at the release of the CC early this year, but we've yet to catch a glimpse of it. It is scheduled to be released late this year, so we hope to see it on our showroom floors very soon. Expect to see a red similar to that used on the B5.5 Passat. Keep your eyes peeled, I'll post pictures as soon as it's in!

MoRRRRe R-Line Shots

The R-Line is Back!

And it looks better than ever! The new 2013 R-Line CC will have a more aggressive front bumper with larger air inlets, and some integrated fog lights. It will also feature some sporty side skirts, along with tinted tail lights (which are already LED's). Of course, the car will sit on some 18-inch alloys, and will feature VW's sporty aluminum pedals. Throw in stainless steel accent pieces, and R-Line badges all around, and you've got yourself a heck of a car! The cars will be offered in both manual transmission, and DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox); with the DSG cars featuring a nice paddle-shift system. This will be mated to the same 2.0 liter TSI (Turbo Straight Injection) engine currently offered in the CC. Expect to see this car hit the shores of the U.S. market later this year!!!!

Safety First!

Over the next two months, we are going to be focusing on the safety aspects of each of our cars. With the upcoming rainy season, you can't know too much about the technologies keeping you on the road! We'll be jumping back and forth between blogs, but I'll be sure to provide links to follow with. One of the most important things about our vehicles is that we don't sell safety features! All of our vehicles, from base model to fully loaded, have all of our safety features packed in! That's right, there are no safety options. One of the most important of these features is called the Crumple Zone. The Crumple Zones are located in front of, and to the rear of the safety cage (where the driver and passengers sit). These areas are built with strategically placed grooves and ridges that are designed to collapse on impact. The crumble up much in the same way as an accordion. The idea behind this is that much of the energy from the impact will be absorbed by the crumple zone instead of transferred to the occupants. This is an important feature for both front and rear-end collisions. The concept ripples the energy of impact around the outside of the car, while the occupants remain in the intact safety cage, protected from major injury! Below is an example of this on Volkswagen CC. Thats the way the Vee-Dub crumples!
