    I think it looks ok. The arteon is a lot better looking in the flesh than in photos. I was standing beside one on Friday while my treg was getting a new serpentine belt (or something like that) fitted.

    Agreed. I liked the look of the Arteon in photos but it does have greater presence in the flesh and hopefully this will be the same.

    They might be going to use the new Porsche system where the air suspension is decoupled from the anti roll mechanicals so the car stays soft but the anti roll for the body is very stiff so it does not lean in corners like normal SUV's do ie the Tiguan etc. Here is the video I saw explaining what it does and I noted that the Porsche has rear steering also...https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-video/...timate-hot-suv

    but this look is the best! even if it is a concept... it's close to being a production EV/hybrid. Bring it on!

    A grown up Tiguan. I'll pass due to all the piano black interior surfaces, the interior is great except for that.

    Personally I'm a huge fan of the 4 seater full size SUV. 3rd rows are ridiculous and completely impractical. (STOP BREEDING!!!) And the middle rear seat compromises the comfort of the two side seats.

    Fortune favours the brave. Put a 4 seater full size SUV on the market VW!!! DO IT!!!

    Here's a full look around vid. The R-Line looks great and that massive media unit is very impressive.
