    Rumorpile: Volkswagen Adding A Smaller CC

    William Maley

    March 20, 2012

    Volkswagen is thinking about adding a smaller four-door coupe (See Volkswagen CC) to their lineup. There are two reasons for this. One, this would be a vilable alternative to the new Audi A3 sedan and upcoming Mercedes-Benz CLC. Two, this will provide Volkswagen another way to increase its market share in North America and China.

    Known internally as the SC (Sport Coupe), the vehicle was given approval after U.S. market studies revealed that Volkswagen's earlier plans for a two-door version of the Jetta (see NCC from the 2010 NAIAS) got only a lukewarm response from potential customers.

    “Our research suggests there is increasingly a market for a sportier and more stylish version of the Jetta in the mold of the CC, only smaller and more affordable. From the feedback we've received so far, buyers want an individual body style and the practicality of four doors.” a Volkswagen source told Autoweek.

    The SC will use Volkswagen’s new MQB platform and will become part of the Jetta lineup.

    The SC will come out sometime in 2015

      Total loss including what they wrote off in their global operations around the world hit $28 billion, the largest ever. Course it does not help propping up old brands that were brought back but still cannot stand on their own like Alfa, Maserati, etc. The Italian brands just have never had quality nor been desired by the bulk of the world.

      I am all for the second amendment rights, I always protect my family, friends and neighbors first against someone who does intend violence. Yet based on the stupidity we have seen in the south with guns, I also feel one needs to have some common sense. Course my response was sarcastic which clearly failed to come across here, but I do remember these stupid folks who were out threatening as a peaceful protest walked by their house.

      It was mostly a black neighborhood when I lived in Atlanta 20 plus years ago so... I fully support gun ownership and the right to protect yourself. That includes me protecting myself from a hostile person, a hostile animal regardless of pet or wild, aliens, predators, zombies, whatever. Full stop.  I did two marathon events Saturday, a one hundred mile "century" bike ride with my wife (London Ohio, Xenia, Yellow Springs, Springfield, and then back) and then a 4 hour long Carpatho Russian Catholic service Saturday night. Was tired when I finally got to bed at 1 AM. Then worked Sunday.  I like this channel.

      I have had a bunch of them as rentals hauling debate students all over the country. Fantastic long distance cruiser, dismal product quality. Stellantis should not be assembling tacos or bicycles, much less automobiles.  At this point everything is so uninspiring visually and reliability wise that I am buying Toyota products until the next EV push comes. Not much inspiring me in the least in the current market.  They should have lost more.
