Volkswagen To Fight Boring SUV Insanity With Super Slick Arteon Shooting Brake

Oh happy day! Look, it’s a practical-yet-niche new Volkswagen that’s not – we repeat – NOT an SUV crossover with a nonsense name beginning with ‘T’. What we have here is our first look at the new VW Arteon Shooting Brake.

Yes, having filled its ranks with the little T-Cross, the T-Roc and its strange-but-true T-Roc Cabriolet twin, and various versions of Tiguan and Touareg, even Volkswagen has got bored of SUVs. So, it’s bringing sexy back, with a stylish estate version of the flagship Arteon saloon.

Exactly! Imagine if this were a reliable $40k - $45k VW instead.

Even if it were reliable, $45K is still $10K too much for a Farteon.

It will get higher, narrower, and shorter, until it becomes another crossover.

Don't be. The Farteon has been a warranty nightmare for VW. It develops annoying squeaks and rattles and many are having paint issue. And that's in addition to all the normal VW foibles of the check engine light being perpetually on.

Please build at Camry and Accord prices and you have a winner. Reliability shouldn't be an issue for a 3-year lease.
