SAMACO, exclusive Volkswagen (VW) dealer in the Kingdom, launched the new VW Passat CC in Jeddah this week. The sporty, dynamic car represents a new segment in the automobile industry combining the rationality of a saloon and the emotional appeal of a sports coupe, described as a first for the motoring world.

Mohammad Raffa, COO of SAMACO said: "The Passat CC is our first VW launch in 2009 in the Saudi market. The year will also witness the launch of the legendary Volkswagen Scirocco and the sixth generation of the iconic Golf. Both will be introduced in the first quarter of this year.

At SAMACO, we look forward to an eventful 2009 and the continuation of our success in sales as well as after-sales service for VW in Saudi Arabia." Fathy Allam, VW Middle East regional sales manager, said: "The Passat CC is a true recognition of style, dynamism and performance, which can easily be distinguished once the driver sits behind the wheel."
