Have they announced pricing yet? I doubt anyone would buy this at 1 bar. They will probably price it just above the Passat. And it will have to be loaded with features to justify it's premium above the Passat as the current Passat is not a bad looking car.

Here's how much the new Volkswagen Arteon costs in SA
The new Volkswagen Arteon, which was revealed in Geneva back in March 2017, has finally arrived in South Africa. The five-door, five-seater (MQB-based) fastback – built at VW’s Emden plant in Germany – is positioned above the Passat and essentially fills the gap left by the CC.
At launch, the local range comprises three derivatives, all employing four-cylinder engines (a six-cylinder model is rumoured to be in development) mated to dual-clutch transmissions.
The 2,0 TDI Elegance is priced at R599 900, the 2,0 TDI R-Line at R649 900 and the flagship 2,0 TSI R-Line 4Motion at R699 900. A three-year/120 000 km warranty and five-year/90 000 km maintenance plan (with intervals of 15 000 km) are included.
The 2,0 TDI mill makes 130 kW and 350 N.m, and is mated to a six-speed DSG. This front-wheel-drive powertrain sips at a claimed 5,6 L/100 km.
The flagship 2,0 TSI, meanwhile, is worth 206 kW and 350 N.m (available from 1 700 to 5 600 r/min), completing the obligatory zero to 100 km/h sprint in a claimed 5,6 seconds before topping out at 250 km/h. This model uses a seven-speed DSG and all-wheel drive, and consumes fuel at a claimed 7,3 L/100 km.
Two equipment lines will be offered: Elegance and R-Line. In addition to its R-Line bumpers, the latter includes standard features such as 19-inch alloys (the Elegance runs on 18s), a panoramic sunroof, front sport seats (with a massage function), Nappa leather and VW’s active info display.
Pricing:
Volkswagen Arteon 2,0 TDI Elegance DSG: R599 900
Volkswagen Arteon 2,0 TDI R-Line DSG: R649 900
Volkswagen Arteon 2,0 TSI R-Line 4Motion DSG: R699 900

Volkswagen Arteon (2018) Specs & Price
The striking Volkswagen Arteon has landed in South Africa and we have specifications and pricing for this model. Here's what you need to know about the newcomer.
Volkswagen calls its new Arteon, which replaces the outgoing Passat CC, a 5-door grand tourer, which pitches the newcomer against the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, Audi A5 Sportback and a slew of other business class sedans, including the upcoming Kia Stinger.
Built on Volkswagen's lauded Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) platform, the Arteon boasts a wheelbase of 2 841 mm, is 1 871 mm wide and 1 427 mm tall. The range comprises 4-cylinder engines only, with one turbodiesel and one turbopetrol motor, both of which are mated with a Volkswagen (DSG) dual-clutch transmission.
The 2.0 TDI DSG is available in Elegance and R-line trim lines. Its 2.0-litre turbodiesel has peak outputs of 130 kW and 350 Nm, with power going to the front wheels via a 6-speed DSG. It'll be the most frugal of the motors, with a claimed consumption figure of just 5.6 L/100 km.
The petrol engine, meanwhile, is a 2.0-litre turbocharged unit, which delivers 206 kW/350 Nm and is mated with a 7-speed DSG. The motor powers the top-of-the-range all-wheel-driven Arteon derivative that is claimed to complete the 0-100 kph sprint in 5.6 seconds before going on to a limited top speed of 250 kph. It's a little thirstier than its diesel sibling at 7.3 L/100 km.

VW's new Arteon flagship is here: SA prices
Volkswagen‘s new Arteon passenger flagship, released this week in South Africa in a three-model line-up comprising one turbodiesel and one turbopetrol in two states of trim, is being described as a five-door Gran Turismo car.
What that means today, however, is a big, superbly appointed hatchback with a dramatically sweeping roofline, a profile that is well on its way to becoming an industry standard, if not a cliche.
Nevertheless, let’s unpack the Arteon by the numbers - at least until we’ve had the opportunity to drive it later this week - and judge it by what you get for what you pay, rather than by preconceived notions.
What you get is a fairly big car, 4862mm long on a 2841mm wheelbase (which predicates commendably short overhangs at both ends), 1871mm wide and a sleek 1427mm tall. That wide, low-slung stance is emphasised the bonnet, which stretches a long way forward and partially over both wings, and the bars of the grille, which extend into the sculpted headlight clusters, the frameless windows and the wide, steeply-raked tailgate.
Motorvation
The diesel offering is a two-litre four rated for 130kW and 350Nm, on tap from 1600-3500rpm, driving the front wheels via a six speed dual-clutch transmission, while the petrol model has a two-litre TSI delivering 206kW and 350Nm from 1700-1600rpm, driving all four wheels via a seven speed DSG and 4Motion all-wheel drive. VW quotes 0-100km/h in 5.6 seconds and 250km/h flat out for the TSI.
The flight-deck layout is based on a line that runs all the way round the cabin, (it actually conceals the air-vents of the three-zone air conditioning) and a sports car-like centre console that slopes steeply up towards the fascia.
The high-tech dashboard features a fully digital instrument cluster (optional on the Elegance, standard on R-Line), an optional head-up display and new infotainment displays from 16.5cm to 23cm, the latter with a tablet-like glass surface that works entirely without buttons, with intuitive gesture control.
Driver aids include adaptive cruise control with front control and emergency braking, incorporating speed limit recognition and navigation data, an active bonnet that pops up to provide a deeper deformation space, particularly for the pedestrian’s head, and a park package that gives you a 360 degree birds-eye view on the infotainment system display.
The base Elegance trim comes with chromed side mirror caps, LED headlights with daytime running lights, LED tail lights with dynamic indicators, 18 inch 'Muscat' alloy wheels, heated windscreen washer jets, keyless locking and starting, aluminium pedals, nappa leather trim with contrast stitching and brushed-aluminium trim, an eight-speaker Apple-compatible infotainment system with auxiliary and USB ports, three-zone automatic aircon, a multifunction leather-trimmed steering wheel with paddle shift, and progressive steering.
The Arteon R-Line trim spec adds 19 inch 'Montevideo' alloy wheels, special R-Line bumpers, a black boot-lid spoiler, a panoramic sunroof, privacy glass, power folding mirrors, a leather-trimmed multifunction sports steering wheel, a black roof liner and nappa leather/carbon style heatable front sports seats with massage function and R-Line logos.
PRICES (including VAT and emissions tax)
2.0 TDI 130kW Elegance DSG R599 900
2.0 TDI 139kW R-Line DSG R649 900
2.0 TSI 206kW R-Line 4Motion DSG R699 900
These include a three-year or 120 000km warranty and a five-year or 90 000km maintenance plan.

Pity the 240bhp (177kw) 2L Biturbo diesel offered in Europe is not offered here.

I’m a bit disappointed.
I was hoping for a “meaningful discussion” here as to why the Arteon will in all likelihood be a relatively poor seller locally even though it offers rather strong value all things considered.

We did that in the other thread. Some mod can just move it in here.

I know but I want Mr Stroller’s take on this. A “meaningful discussion” if you will.
