    Owner of a "normal" (Diesel) R-Line Arteon SB here. This car is a perfect conversation starter. Nobody knows what it is and asks what this sexy VW is all about. I've seen only a handful on the street since I got it in late December, so I don't drown in the masses of grey Passats. I've got thumbs up from "normal" Arteon drivers, even a GTI driver smiled and nodded at me. And it is a practical family car, virtually the same as the Passat sizewise (even a bit more rear legroom than the Passat due to the longer wheelbase). The interior may be a bit dull compared to the iPads on wheels nowadays, but it is sleek, clean and quite stylish. My kids love the lit doorpanels, they look gorgeous at night :)

    Volkswagen had such a great opportunity to make this Arteon R shooting Brake a great car.
    To me this looking like VW tried to bring back the Passat R36. IF VW Put the 3.6L VR6 in this car I like you mentioned, think it would have been a way better car! If they were concerned about emissions well put the 2.5 VR6 Turbo engine from China in this car. It would make the same power and just sound 1000 times better, the engine is 100% interchangeable on VW MQB platform so it would have been such an easy swap.
    I may be old school when I say this but the new "R" cars really don't have anything special about them. Back in the day the R cars got completely different engines trim and interior that enthusiast couldn't stop talking about. Just looking at the R32! Its sill one of VW most sought after modern enthusiast cars today. I do love the styling of the Arteon R shooting Brake, I feel like it fits the traditional "R" package, but the engine choice just falls flat for me. To be an R I feel the heart of the car needs to be aggressive and not just the same old tuned 2.0 inline 4 banger you get in very VW. You need some spice and grunt behind it. IDK that's just my thought. Good try VW maybe try to be more creative with your engine selection next time. If there will even be an engine next time... it will probably be all electric. :(

    Original engine was 2.5L VR6 turbo making 300 bhp and 370 lb tq, that is only used in China, car wouldn’t cost vw more then 2.0 t since the price of new long block vr6 2.5 is $8k and 2.0t is around $10k. I’m pretty sure using more powerful vr6 would double the sale on those cars. Here in USA they don’t sell really good and the only reason is because they are underpowered. People don’t mind paying $50k for a car but with 300hp you can get Toyota Camry.

Can you try a 0-62 in the future to get a true comparison. 0-62 for this car is 4.9 according to VW. 0-60 in 4.5 is still quick though regardless.
