    Just watched the Carwow vid of the Arteon R. Things are looking up for the Arteon it seems. Hope they have done something to fix the heavy understeer.

    Very, very nice. VW need to bring both the fastback and shooting brake to Australia, price it right this time and they'll be on a winner.

    Is it me or does shooting brake’s back look like a squashed Q8?

    I actually really like that blue in the GT/sedan version. I somewhat agree with doc_777, the shooting brake isn't my cup of tea. Maybe it'll look better in person so I'm keeping an open mind about it. But with only 2L more luggage capacity than the GT version (like mentioned in one of those review videos), what's the point?

    I've only got 18 months left with my Arteon before I throw the keys back at VW, and I'm starting to look at my next options now. I've been tempted by Tesla and their Model 3 Long Range, but I've been keeping an eye on the Tesla Motor Club forums - and.... a lot of what gets said by Tesla owners is what's putting me off owning a Model 3 (and I can't afford a Model S/X).

    So with that in mind - another Arteon is definitely on the list. I've really enjoyed the one I have, and it's a great car. If I had to do another 4yrs with one, I wouldn't mind.

    So anyone going to have a stab at the price of a R Wagon if it comes to Australia. I currently have a Wolfsburg wagon and starting to look around for my next car.

    That’s a hefty pricetag.

    Also keep hearing the new Golf R will be getting about 335hp while this is 320. Same engine detuned?
