That looks crap. Way to ruin a nice looking car. Saw a slammed new Polo Saturday, doesn't even have plates on yet. What kind of a moron would want something like this?

Look at that exhaust, like a massive builder with a tiny tottie. Or a hot girl, with no boobs, not small boobs, but nothing.

Looking at the previous post, then this one, it looks as if the bonnet isn't closed. Classic Id10t error.

Saw some pretty off lines on the new Jetta too.

I like the way Americans pronounce "Passat".

Volkswagen Arteon 2.0 TSI 4Motion R-Line (2018) Review
Verdict
This car certainly does not fall into the mutton-dressed-as-lamb category. It's so much more than just a new body style slapped onto an existing product, which we wholly applaud. There's substance to this Arteon: it's an accomplished tourer that is spacious enough to seat 4 adults in luxurious comfort, with more than enough capacity to accommodate their luggage as well.
As we said at the Arteon launch, "those who've driven the Passat will attest to the fact that it's a superb package, yet (its) poor sales figures suggest consumers are not attracted to its nameplate, at least not in significant numbers." Unfortunately, even though the Arteon is lightyears more fashionable than a Passat and offers more youthful appeal, we don't think it will be a sales success either. Granted, even Volkswagen does not expect its newcomer to achieve volume sales, but how is the Arteon going to build momentum as a fledgeling product in a cutthroat, shrinking segment if it won't be widely seen and appreciated? Realistically, what are its chances of gaining a foothold in the market when it's up against not only its vaunted countrymen, but a glut of SUVs too?
Well, at least the Arteon gives Volkswagen loyalists something to aspire to. Imagine when the time comes for a Volkswagen owner to get a bigger car and a Golf GTI just won't cut it, a Tiguan's not for them and the Jetta is no longer available? Those who buy an Arteon will be impressed by its levels of comfort and technology and, if they opt for this engine, notable performance. However, we'll have to watch the sales charts to see if buyers are willing to tear themselves away from their coveted German (premium) brands and opt for something refreshingly different.

Optional extras. You and I both know it's a VW thing
I would love to see it compared to a Euro one
