200hp I-4 CC is like $27k
285hp VR6 CC is like $31k
both pretty well loaded
Camry XLE V6 is like $26k-28k, then Toyota loves to nickel and dime you for every stinking option.
Also, VW throws in free maintanance for 4 years( I know, you’ll need it, heh heh).
Slightly adventurous folks can spend $600 on a ecu upgrade from companies like APR and bump the 2.0T into a 254hp/297 and still get gas mileage that beats V6’s.
However, you do have to deal with VW’s “issues”

Based on carsdirect.com, fully loaded price for the follow:
CC V6 FWD: $34,845
CC Luxury FWD: $34,851
CC Sport FWD: $26,625 (Seems to not have Bluetooth, or backup camera).
Camry XLE V6 w/Navigation: $29,204
Camry XLE I4 w/Navigation: $27,732
G37S: $35,193
TL 3.5 w/Technology FWD: $34,366
So, fully loaded CC V6 FWD or G37S? There’s no doubt the 2.0T responds very well to mods. However, the CC 2.0T Luxury FWD is still priced about the same as the G37S. Even w/ the chip, it’s still underpowered compared to the G37S.
[quote=sunny88]In my own experience after driving German cars for many years and Japanese cars for a few years most German cars were extremely reliable albeit more expensive to maintain. The German cars were also peppier and more fun to drive.[/quote]
Were your German cars and Japanese cars in the same price range?
