Just pre-ordered a 2018 Volkswagen Arteon, AMA
>>17356356
which trim level did you go for and why?
What's an arteon
>>17356360
2.0L TSI (276 ps) w/ 7 speed DSG and paddleshift
>>17356382
Golf with a bodykit
probably a cool car but not worth 30-40k...
rather get a golf r, or a fully loaded gti
>>17356385
same platform =/= same car dude. while an a3 and TT and beetle are in fact a golf with a bodykit, this is an entirely different car.
>>17356390
>lies vagfags tell themselves
>>17356390
Yes, it's a Passat with a bodykit.
>>17356356
>Same price as a Model 3 for an unreliable german cheatercar
>>17356401
All VWs are identical in front of the firewall (except the trucks)
>>17356407
>Yeah, German engineering is just a meme guys, French, British and Italian cars are much better built!
Fuck off dumb shit

MQB is a platform that means while the cars are constructed similarly, they are not the same car...
And no, the Passat isn't a coupe style sedan.

The reason companies do this is to keep costs lower. It's why Volvo dumped their 5cyl and jumped to 4cyl turbos. Economies of scale and all that.

Enjoy it OP, Golf R owner here, love the brand.
Its a gorgeous profile on it but the front isn't perfect in my opinion, looks a bit like a Renault. Black out the grill and it would be better.
Also, the interior. What could have been....
>>17356463
I understand it. It's not a bad thing at all.
>>17356440
Prove it? A passat and arteon would both be 40k vw cars. Vw didn't even like that the CC took passat sales away
>>17356356
Never heard of this car but that's probably the only Volkswagen I've ever liked the design of, looks good.
>>17356356
I've seen the Arteon already and had the chance to take a closer look at it. Trust me, you should have gone for the Passat wagon. The interior is exactly the same and the Passat is more spacious and more practical and just as fast. And it's cheaper
>>17356356
they really should have added even more horizontal lines to the front. you can never have enough of them
>>17356475
air vent across the whole panel?
wait, i've seen that before...
lmao audi is even more becoming VW like, they even ditched torsen AWD
Looks cool i want to drive it
>>17356754
Jesus christ that looks like shit. Made worse with the puke color they put on it
why didnt you just buy a passat CC?
>>17356754
>>17356824
It's not puke, it's baby food
>>17356839
The arteon is its replacement
>>17356356
are you gay?
Looks like a Passat crossed with the latest gen Civic
>>17356382
Nothing but a miserable pile of scraps
why?
>>17356421
No one said anything about French, British or Italian cars.
Japanese cars, however...
Why do people here shit so much on German cars? Is it because this board is filled with muricans who love sucking Japanese dicks?
Where I live VW's are actually a pretty nice. We do small maintenance checks every 10k Km, big ones every 50k or before big road trips. Like 25% of the people here drive VW and this isn't even Germany. People would not buy a piece of trash for 20k-40k euros if there are so much more apternatives.
>>17356384
>and why
