Awesome...last of the AWD manual wagons and in my opinion one of the most beautiful cars VW has ever produced. It looks right from every angle and I actually like the cladding on my white one as it provides a nice contrast. I think I will own this car for a long time as there really is nothing else new that ‘does it’…

This is a really interesting approach to how to vote...I like it

I had a 2007 Pilot that lived in the Caribbean which beats the shit out of cars, especially transmissions, brakes, AC, etc.  Drove it for almost 3 years and it ran like a top every single day

Holy shit that is a new low and absolute 100% crack pipe 

e46 generation never had turbo motors

Especially when you call it a “CV-R” post purchase it doesn’t matter at all ;)

Last week’s guest and writing were particularly abysmal though, given the silver platter on which society is presenting itself right now.  The Lexus gig was the funniest bit of the show

Black paint on wheel spokes and hubs needs to die in a very large fire.  It’s absurd how horrible wheel design is these days

Star for ‘Murdered out Mom box”

Totally agree. I get making Mustang it’s own “sub brand” for sports cars for Ford as that seems to be happening with popular nameplates, but to slap it on this was nearly as dumb as GM blowing the Blazer nameplate on its middle-sausage CUV

Futura or Zephyr would have been good.

I thought that was just for BMWs

6/72K warranty gives a lot of piece of mind. $22K is a steal, I paid $26 OTD on my SE with a 6 speed and lighting package and love it

The Arteon is the pinnacle of VWUSA having zero clue about what to offer over here product wise [though I am thankful for the Phaeton experiment during the Piëch years

I saw this ad a few weeks back when I went down a random rabbithole looking for interesting cars...I call this NP as it’s Pininfarina and you won’t see another one almost anywhere you go.  This thing is cool even if it’s not particularly fast.  Nice looking car that is different and will turn heads anywhere you go

This would be my only worry on this thing as well.

I’m going to go against the grain here and vote NP. I have seen literally zero of these ever. 4WD boxy wagon with a revvy 16v four and stick, yes please. The exhaust is easy and cheap to replace with something less chav and the wheels are super easy to sell off and get a set of 16s or 17s and break even or maybe make…

Yeppppppp

Hire a shop full-on to do it?  No.  That still doesn’t mean this is worth anywhere near $14K

How much did they give you for the rusty Jeep?
