Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    That and a turbo V6 but they're just all rumours at this stage.

    No surprises that it looks like an Audi A6 Avant.

    Pretty car though.

      i would imagine the interior space - gigantic... the current one has plenty of space...

        Shooting brakes can definitely have appeal but for me this takes from rather than adds to the arteon’s presence.prefer the current shape.

          Remember this is just an "artist impression".

              Rumours at this stage.

              Being a current Arteon owner which is a TSI 206 R-Line (No other option in Australia) I hope it never makes an appearance in Australia. Purely for selfish jealously reasons.

                The Porsche Macan V6 Turbo or Audi S4/S5 V6 Turbo engines could easily be shoehoned in there.

                    you might call it a wagon, and that might be the accepted term here in Aus, but they sell a shed load more of these things in the UK and Europe, and over there, they’re an ‘estate’.

                        Exactly. They are estate cars.

                        Shooting Brake these days just means Fancy Estate Car.

                        This is a wagon [emoji12]

                          It's a Passat variant.

                            Made in the Passat factory but the wheel base is different.

                            It's not like the chassis starts it's life as a Passat then they bolt on a few things to turn it into an Arteon.

                              I hope the "Shooting Brake" has the "Gun Rack" on the Options List. I'll have mine in Brushed Matte Black or Arctic Puce.
