Volkswagen CC: First drive review

It seems that Volkswagen is slightly embarrassed about its big Jetta small Phaeton, the Passat. The VW we're driving here used to be called the Passat CC. Now, however, it's just CC, and so no longer burdened by a name more associated with long, dull motorway journeys (regardless of brilliant TV adverts) and less with sexy time coupé adventures.

Volkswagen says the name change is to do with adhering to worldwide naming convention. Or in other words, "because America does it".
