Hats off to our beloved German brand. It definitely delivered the goods with its standout midsize sedan, the new-and-improved 2016 VW Passat.

What are some of its choicest qualities? Well, fortunately for you, the fine folks at MotorWeek are here today to provide some insight. Hear what they have to say right here:

Unlike many other entry-level offerings, the Passat's base engine is exquisite. This turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder is coupled with a six-speed automatic gearbox and together twist out a terrific 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.

At McDaniels Volkswagen, we're ready to celebrate Thanksgiving! Sometimes, after eating burnt turkey with insensitive relatives, you realize the best part of ushering in the holidays is actually the day after Thanksgiving -- Black Friday. The mall won't make fun of your political views or your choice of major. The mall understands. And so do car dealerships.

If you've kept pace with our blog page here at McDaniels Volkswagen, you may recall a post from the end of last month, in which we profiled our luxury-laden sedan, the CC.

Well, now it's time for the CC's compact compatriot -- the 2016 VW Jetta -- to take its little turn on the catwalk. Watch this spiffy sedan strut its stuff in the video below:

It's mighty hard to argue with an auto like the 2015 Volkswagen CC. A consummate combo of looks and luxury, this is one straight-up spectacular sedan.

And our friend from Autotrader, Jabari Jones, is here to deliver five excellent reasons why one should consider buying the CC. Hear him out:

The CC's powertrain portfolio kicks off with the base turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder, which is good for a glorious 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Should that not quite do the trick, we have no doubt that the one available with the 4Motion Executive trim will.

We at McDaniels Volkswagen are willing to wager a healthy sum that you've never met a hatchback quite like the VW Golf R. With sensational style, monstrous muscle and some amazing onboard amenities, this car most definitely exists in a class of one.

Wondering what exactly this sultry speedster has up its sleeve? Then, click "play" on the clip below to get the full scoop:

Offering an inimitable blend of sportiness and sophistication, the Golf R's sole trim level is terrific.

Standard equipment includes features like 18-inch wheels with performance tires, automatic and adaptive xenon ...

Happy almost Friday! The proximity of the weekend is lifting our spirits. To correspond with our sunny mood, here's a sunny vintage Beetle:

A pair of powertrains make up the Golf SportWagen portfolio. And which, of the two, would we pick? Though it's a close call, we'd likely opt for the TDI.
