    Looks class.

    Obviously the name is ridiculous.

    Boot space near identical to the hatch/saloon which is strange although you have better access.

    Looks great but agreed ridiculous name.

    Have they reduced the price or just brought in lower trim levels/engine options with the facelift?

    According to the VW site, the pre facelifted Arteon RRP started @ 47,450. The facelifted coupe now starts @ 42,495 and the Shooting Brake starts @ 43,995.

    Indeed C, a Shooting Brake is a two door "coupe" estate. A four door is an estate(or station wagon in the US). /pedant. :D I suppose it's just more marketing stuff to appear fancy and others have used the same wrong label. Very nice looking car mind you.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I like the Arteon, it's a handsome looking thing, and the estate even more so.

    It's the same thing really, just in a fancier frock and higher price tag.

    Peugeot 508 estate is far nicer than either of them and so is the saloon.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
