Whyyyy did they have to give it cladding and a lift?

Oh that looks amazing

Because they don’t want to sell any. Those who want a proper wagon will avoid it because it’s too crossover -ish. Those who want crossover s will avoid it because it’s not a crossover

The lift is pretty bad. Messes up the proportions, and I’m sure it doesn’t do any favors for the handling.

Because people in NA don’t buy wagons... But give it a subtle lift and cladding and it sells like hotcakes. Don’t hate the player...

Also, it’s basically an Audi Allroad, so:

That’s pretty good looking but yeah, I’m not holding my breath on it coming to the US. It would compete too directly with the Audi Allroads

I’d like to argue that in this case, it works better as a Sedan than a Wagon.

The sloping roof doesn’t work with the extending butt. The car looks like a freshly pinched log.

...but it’s got 4 doors....shooting brakes have 2 doors...that is an Arteon ESTATE/WAGON.

wtf is up with the rear door handle area? And the rear window, the space above the rear wheel? It’s like it was just liquified in Photoshop. And the rear overhang is all wrong. I dunno about this one.

I applaud the idea and the guts to do it, but the execution could have been better IMO.

It would cost as much as a Volvo anyway, I can’t afford the V90 or I would have one.

Interesting VW is doing this at the same time Toyota is dumping the tall wagon concept for it’s Venza for a more traditional CUV layout

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > KingT- 60% of the time, it works every time 06/17/2020 at 15:43

Why the slanty window line?

So the same problem as the Venza.

May not even come here to boot.  I want a poor man’s RS6 - give me the wagon, proper suspension, 4motion and the engine out of the TTRS.  Do that for sub-60k and I’ll probably be the only person who buys one.

It should be beautiful..but that g oddamn outback-style cladding. It’s ruining wagons. Ugh.

It's okay...it won't come to Oz either. Probably because we already have the Skoda Octavia and the Superb, both in wagon formats.

We’re getting the E450 “All Terrain” for 2021 as well, along with apparently losing the “luxury” trim variant. I do not want the cladding, will not buy:

I wish they’d just throw the 5 cylinder in a golf and call it the golf rs. You’d think it would be easy.
