Lets talk about new vehicles

@ARCOgraphite

You asked if it was under the cover.
Facing the car it is to the back left.😳

The Arteon dipstick.
Wow I didn't want to force it to pull out but it does require muscle.

Being new and all I wanted to be careful. It has two prongs so to speak keeping it on the tube.
You have to rip it out...😳

Not a chance. :(

VW stubbornly tried to continue to sell wagons with the excellent All Track, it was even priced for the masses. It should have blown stupid Subaru off the map but noooo....

Arteon was slow to come to the US also because here VW has to carefully avoid raiding sales from Audi. Audi dealers opposed it and VW also de contented it for this market compared to Europe to get Audi to cool off. Still if you read Vortex many Arteon buyers also looked at Audi. The shooting brake is insanely cool and no way it's not loaded with VW's best stuff either. Audi won't let it hit these shores.

If it miraculously made it how much? It would have to be near 60k. VW wouldn't sell them it would be another one of their stunts, because they can afford stunts and pranks. :LOL:
 
I love the hatch...
I wouldn't need the above anyway and I don't need a DSG or MSG...lol

I love the 8 spd...
I call it RS.....rapid shift....
Okay I will go away
Thanks for the insight @KCJeep
I never looked at an Audi...
Not too available around here
 
Thought about @Quattro Pete today...why lol?
Some lady in a new with temps Audi Q3 pulled right out in front of me, and I was going 55 mph
She left a gas station and never even looked.
The Arteon was quick on its feet, and I had to do a Rockford move to avoid sitting with her in her front seat.
I could just hear white metal on white metal................
Her little turd wasn't half bad looking but again I fear Audi too.........yeah I know...lol

Glad to hear a fellow Audi driver gave you the opportunity to exercise your Arteon like it should be. :)

Audi needs to step aside
 
She just wanted a real good look at your Arteon. 😜

They don't have the same step ladder structure in Europe so VW does not have to keep a gap with Audi there. So they get VWs very best stuff. Not that it affects me much, I'm driving a base model Jetta. 🤣

I shopped some Audi's before I bought my Passat hot rod. My true colors finally came out, I can afford an Audi but I'm too practical to spend that much on a car. VWs are valued packed, you get a lot for your money IMO.

I can't agree more. I like good value cars. Like my Mitsubishi rides too.
Will look at a Corolla..
The Arteon... I have to remind myself in the scheme of things isn't expensive and I think it is a great value.
Gone are the days of letting a car sit in the garage.
VW does seem to be a value brand with a little something special.

Hey Mister KC
On your VW do you have to answer the phone on the touch screen???
 
You should have a steering wheel button for phone answering, at least my Alltrack did. Now with my 2005 cadillac i just ignore people till i get where i'm going. Honestly its better!

Yeah like everything else but it doesn't seem to work. Calls come in and the touch screen pops up and with two phone pictures..
Seems weird but the only way I can do it for now. Thanks
