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.

      Toureg R has the same engine already launched so there still is a chance!

                    Those new rims look exceptional with the dark blue paint. I am still partial to the turbine Rosario rims against white.

                    Glad to see the shooting brake made it past the concept stage, it will hopefully keep the Arteon name alive for awhile.

                    Not too surprising they didn't realise a 6 cylinder version at the price point. The eHybrid option is an interesting addition, but not a performance option either.

                    Now to see if VW Australia actually orders any of the new models...

                      Just watched the Carwow vid of the Arteon R. Things are looking up for the Arteon it seems. Hope they have done something to fix the heavy understeer.

                          Very, very nice. VW need to bring both the fastback and shooting brake to Australia, price it right this time and they'll be on a winner.

                            Is it me or does shooting brake’s back look like a squashed Q8?
