You really like swiss culture
You really like swiss culture and swiss food. You originally wanted to go UBS but they suck so you settled w/ CS instead.
Talk about how UBS is
Talk about how UBS is inconsistent with their offers (delaying SA returns, rescinding FT offers).
or you can talk about how much you love chocolate, watches and skiing.

One of the few banks not bailed out in the crisis.
As mentioned above,
As mentioned above, definitely badmouth UBS. (Find choice UBS SUCKS! quotes on Dealbreaker to help you sound funny and genuine). Also, definitely mention your love for chocolate, watches and skiing. Throw in love for fondue and mention you have a huge boner for Roger Federer and you should get the offer.
Ok, seriously though you would be better served mentioning their more recent news just by Googling their name/ looking for their most recent news.

Okay, you're right, I guess I was being dismissive of the question. Think of it this way, you get an offer to work at each and every BB you applied to and they all pay the same salary/bonus. Which one do you choose? How you answer that question should be how you answer 'why CS?'

You apply everywhere, find some BS to justify Y ABC Y not XYZ?

1) Because in that particular sector you are one of the top 3, if not the best.
2) Credit Suisse did NOT get bailed out (to the numb nut in one of the comments above - the US government is not the only one bailing their state banks)
3) The grad scheme looks very interesting, and you have heard it is one of the best training program on the street
4) You are worried about massive regulations on US banks, Credit Suisse will be affected to a lesser extent
5) In the London office they have a swimming pool in the building!
