Lets talk about new vehicles

Destiny mocked me today. Saw an Arteon in gorgeous blue, rare car in a rare color. Never seen anything but white, black and silver and months between those. Not long after went by a BMW 850i coupe. Didn't even know there was such a thing but I'll admit I'm not a Bimmer guy.
 
BMW was black of course, don't think they make them in any other color. :p

I believe the call that Arteon color Atlantic blue. Gorgeous.

I am out in the sticks but I see all kinds of bimmers...my neighbor has 4....
Weird....
You ready to step up?😜
 
To what? Arteon or Giulia on deck don't know when shooting for 2024 (which is why I'm looking now lol.) I dont usually move fast but the Jetta was a "hey look what I could do" impulse. No regrets.
 
Your neighbor has 4 Bimmers? Let me guess. Black, more black, less black and blacker?

Can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a BMW. Must be some aggressive dealers about i see more than Audi and Benz combined.

No wonder your an Arteon rock star, your
neighbor has to be jealous for sure. And your new Vette will be there. :p

That is so true
All are black...two cars and 2 SUVs and the only non BMW is a Mazda 3 in black too... Really
I haven't seen a white bimmer in 20 years...lol

My neighbor works on them bimmers 3x a week...he has all the tools and he and his family run them to death...
 
I wonder what would force us people , to buy eu car... are us cars inferior? ( I think not)
People just want to be different and some seek prestige or the appearance of opulence...
 
A Triumph Spitfire just ran out of gas in front of my house... The guys younger wife was not impressed by his gas tank estimations....lol

Truth...he missed the gas station by 250 yards...

Oh yeah?
And I will be in jail for bank fraud 😂
 
Went in today to my local Chevy dealer to order a Corvette. As my usual... Courtney...Jim...Jim...Courtney...
That went on for about 45 minutes...lol

The news...one year delivery...msrp no markups but it may end up being a 2024 model year...Yikes...
 
@KCJeep
Not bad considering combined with the full blast AC....figure out a full tank interstate run

Nice! Arteon is doing very well, you're probably getting close to 30 overall? Wouldn't be surprised if it would break 35 on a highway trip if speeds were held to 70 or so. I could make 400 maybe 425 in my Passat if I ran it down to fumes, I can do 500 plus with the Jetta and it has a smaller tank.

My weekly combined average with daily drive thru's is 34 mpg for a whole week...
Yes 34 mpg with 18% idling as noted by the VW app

I seen on CG several 2022 Arteons coming in
4motions at $46K up.... looks like no more deals???????
What have you heard?
 
Today I heard that unless you put up $10K over MSRP the Vette wait is 14-15 months...
 
I am digging the VW experience right now Arco....
The new Arteon is juiced up now but a bit costly...
