Would be interested to know fellow C6 owners views on the release of the new Volkswagen Arteon? Is this the first real attempt since the C6 from a non-luxury badge to try and enter this market? Have to say, I think it looks stunning. I first marked the C6 as the car I wanted to buy when it was released in 2005 and I was 13 - I finally managed to afford one 10 years later. I always worried that I would never find a similar car that I like again to buy once the C6 expires - maybe I've just marked the Arteon for purchase in 10 years time like I did with the C6! I haven't fallen in love with it like I did instantly with the C6, but it is nice to see a manufacturer finally having a go at this sort of car again. |

If that's got some big engines in it and not the 4 cylinders that everyone seems to be going for these days I'd be quite tempted by one of those. David. |

Downside will be the seats if it's anything like the 'CC' it's replacing as I found them typically German and very hard, not like the C6 armchairs | ||

Frankly spoken, NO, this is NOT a "would be C6" but it is OK and maybe about time that VW admits getting inspired by real design... Regarding the seats, I could well imagine the VW being hard as concrete. |

They have already done it, before the C6 even! It's called Phaeton and the C6 uses the same air diffusion technology in the air-con as the Phaeton. | ||

I think I prefer the C6 2017 model (China only) | ||

Don't like the external looks myself - fussy, contrived and lacking the grace of the C6 - and the interior is mainly Passat. | ||
