    325HP and 435Nm and 0-100 time of 6.0sec???

    would have expected mid 5's considering thats a fair amount more power than a R36 which is only 295 HP/350 Nm

    manual though as opposed to DSG? perhaps...might account for the added few tenths..

    No, we were talking about the Passat R36, Insignia OPC's competitor. I hope that was what Wraith was talking about, too Click here to enlarge
    Sorry, but even leaving looks aside, the R36 won't get me too excited with 25 kW and 100 Nm less than Opel's medium sized beast.

    i believe Ange was talking about the Passat CC, sounds most like the merc he described, i believe it shares the r36 running gear, but different body shape?

    R36 does not look like a Merc CLS - Wraith is indeed talking about the Passat CC.

    Passat CC has the 3.6 from the R36 but with slightly less power - so still pretty quick.

    Insignia looks better (and not as boring as the Passat) - but the VR6 in the Passat sounds a lot better than the V6 in this.

    Meh. I'd still prefer the 330i.

    Still a nice car though!

    Sorry, my bad... But why would you compare a CC with a sedan or wagon, anyway?! Click here to enlarge

    Can you buy a new 330i for about $60k? Where, surely not in Oz?

    the cc isn't essentially a sedan? Click here to enlarge dont understand your question....

    no such thing as a "new" 330i - except in diesel.

    and poita is right... not going to come to oz anyway..
