Volkswagen Cc **rare*** Type-r 2010, Dealer Maintained, Extremely Clean! on 2040-cars
Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States
This car is loaded with Power Seats, Doors, Windows, iPod/Iphone Integration, Bluetooth Phone, Weathertech floor mats as well as factory ones that came with the car, Heated Mirrors as well. No Kids, Interior and exterior is spotless. The car has never been in an accident or had any body work done to it at all. Tires are new within last 10k miles. I am the second owner of this car, this car has been serviced at the dealer every time! This car is ready to go! Alas, this is another comparo in which the car producing the least power and torque emerges victorious. C/D readers are inveterate rock throwers, and we can already hear them sprinting toward quarries nationwide. So,please examine the numbers. To 30 mph, the CC lagged merely 0.1 second behind the 80-horse-stronger Acura and was only 0.4 second behind it to 60 mph. Just as impressive, the CC absolutely annihilated the competition in the telling 30-to-50-mph top-gear test. That it was by far the lightest of our participants helped. That it achieved the best fuel economy is simply a tribute to conscientious engineering. If Buick is looking to perfect its four-cylinder turbo, it should look no further than VW’s version: quiet, smooth, responsive, and emanating subtle whirrings that will have you confusing it for a small V-6. Or a turbine. No matter what, it never sounds like a cheap four-banger. The CC’s “bests” clogged the floodgates: best skidpad grip, best ergonomics, best fit and finish, best exterior styling, best interior styling, best handling, best transmission, best steering, best as-tested price, and best driver comfort. So enticing was the front-passenger seat that photographer Marc Urbano selected it for nearly every minute of our 900-mile Granot Loma odyssey. “This is the only car that invited me to have fun,” wrote one driver. “Just a lovely, smooth, fleet-footed cruiser,” offered another. “The light steering is more precise and tracks better than the Buick’s. A light touch to all the primary controls. Perfectly bolstered seats. A suspension that seems to hunker down as speed mounts. And a dual-clutch transmission that shifts three ways to Sunday but always with West Point precision.” By no means is the CC perfect. Those who require a five-passenger sedan will have to forgo the four-only CC. The alluring roofline and high beltline squash the window apertures and do damage to front interior volume. Encountering large pavement whoop-de-doos, the platform sometimes shivers. And the silver-toned accent that sweeps the length of the dashboard looks, well, pretty low-rent. Otherwise, the VW emerges a 14-point victor. “I called our long-term Audi A4 a ‘VW GTI for grown-ups,’ ” said Gluckman. “Maybe I should have applied that description to the CC.” |

Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
