This isn’t a sport sedan though. It might look sporty but this thing wouldn’t be able to keep up with any comparable BMW/Audi/Mercedes or even a Lexus IS. Hell, the Kia stinger or Genesis G70 would smoke this thing too. This is a V6 Camry, turbo accord, or V6 maxima competitor all day, and the AWD would essentially give it the edge in a straight line.

Most dealers don't sell these cars at the MSRP. The only people that pay MSRP are corporate customers who don't care because they'll write it off as a business expense at tax time. A $45K sticker price will be sold to Joe Schmo at around $2500-3000 less after all the incentives/promotions and the dealer negotiated price. I saw a brand new VW Arteon SEL, 4MOTION with R-Line which had a window sticker price of about $44,500 which sold at around $38K.

@@WhiteBuffalo-ou6ew Nice of you to ask. I'm sure most here know the "wave" as to what is done in various sports arenas by the spectators. In this case, "Save the Wave" applies to Corvette owners in that's what we do when passing another Corvette. America's first and only sports car. It's just an physical expression of saying hi or nice ride. It doesn't matter what year Corvette you have, 1953 or 2019, one "waves" or gives the thumbs up to another Corvette owner. Another manifestation of "The Wave," can be done by blinking your headlights or just a horn beep. The exact history of "The Wave," is not known, but it's "roots" probably go back to when America's Greatest Generation returned home after WW2. Most of our troops were staged in Great Britain prior to being sent to Germany and like so many Americans, they were car enthusiasts and became fascinated by the British sports cars of the day, MG's, Austin Healey's and Jags and some actually purchased them and brought them back to the states. These owners were few in numbers in the mid to late '40's and early '50's and they would "wave" to one another as a friendly gesture. Then with the onset of the Corvette in 1953 the wave was picked up Corvette owners and continues to this day. Having said all this, even if you don't drive a Vette, even if you don't like Vettes, don't hesitate to give the wave or a thumbs up to one. It's effectively a salute to our history and to those that came before us. Save the Wave my friend.

It shouldn't? a well loaded a7 is like what, another 15 or 20k?

Is it a 2.0t gen3 ea888 similar to the Golf R but it is not the same motor by any means. The Golf R and the Rs3 both have forged internals. The A3/GTI/Arteon do not get forged internals.

I have a B7 Passat TDI... I love my car, for sure. But .... After watching this... I might torch my car. The Arteon is a fucking unit.

Raiti's Rides hey! Thanks for the reply. I had a thought earlier.... it’d be interesting to see a film comparing a Jetta to a Passat to an Arteon...

Almost 50k for a vw🤣🤣🤣🤣 a horrible way to spend your money. I rather keep driving my 1972 bug. Excellent review sir but a really bad investment in my humble opinion. 😎

@@wesleyjanse6600 If you consider cars as investments, then maybe nothing above $5K makes much sense. This is not a car you get as an investment, but for your pleasure.

The only reason the car isnt selling as well as it should be is because of the badge. Its said but true, same could be said for the Kia stinger.

Well the outgoing CC is a resale value Disaster. I always liked the design...except the huge hump in the backseat in the 4 seater early models....a car that could clearly seat 5, they decided No, lets only place 4 seats...idiots. But, the resale value. I noticed, CCs or Passats would ask for $17k with 17k miles. Whereas a comparable Acura TLX with 17K miles, would resell for $24k. Same years, nearly same MSRP, but Acuras hold $7k more in value. Not to mention the Dieselgate. I'm not feeling VW. I agree the dash & gauges are gorgeous, my buddy has the new Cayenne, and the VW gauges are sweet. I doubt they help it hold value.
