The Arteon is an answer to a question almost nobody asked - an overpriced, underpowered 4 door sedan with a luxury price tag and a VW badge, in the fastest disappearing US major market segment.

Why this car was ever green-lit for the US market is mystifying, continuing VW’s long legacy of bizarre sales-failure product…

People have been pointing this out for years on this very site, only to be told to shut up, or that it really isn’t true.

For $15 Million I will let you call me anything you want for 9 months!

With cases like this of whether damages paid the the victim are “fair” I like to apply my completely not-official test of “Would I volunteer in a heartbeat to be subjected to the experience of the victim in exchange for the payout they received?”

Should have been zero. All those allegations were likely fabricated due to Tesla having deep pockets.

What part of non-fungible do these morons not understand?

Who knew a entry level sports car that people can actually afford would keep on selling lol.

Those 100+ inches of annual rainfall have to go somewhere. Even airports with lesser challenges in that respect have to have some provisions for getting rid of rain or snow, and if something goes badly wrong with your plane and you end up there after doing most of a Jim Rockford U-turn at speed, it’s gonna hurt.

I think it’s pretty easy to draw a line between “hydraulic failure” and “brakes on one side don’t work right” and “skidded sideways off the runway”.

Talk about a buried lede here — there’s enough enthusiasm for an association?!

My family is from India - I’ve travelled there plenty and driven there too. I just want to crack a joke that these cars will never be going fast enough to be in any real danger - the only places where you’d even get up to such speeds are places where there’s nothing to hit.

Using your baby as an airbag is generally frowned upon.

I bet they’re all safer than a motorcycle with five people on it, which is realistically what these cars are competing with. Making the cars safer will make them more expensive, which will make more people stick with the motorcycles, which will make them less safe.
