    The Arteon is a lovely bit of kit. Needs a more interesting powertrain though. The 5 Cyl turbo would have been amazing

      I agree the 2.0 TSI is getting a bit old now since they're putting in every R model... The 2.5 would really help move the Arteon upmarket which is what VW is trying to do.

      the engine in the Arteon is far better than the current S4/S5 engine, in terms of modifying at least. the previous Supercharged V6 in the S4/S5 was the last great tuning engine

      I think the prob with the vr6 is its under powered NA and uses more fuel than its v6 competitors. With that said i still love the motor. I never flocked to the best MPG when shopping for a car. The VR6 never made class leading hp in stock form either And now with ICE being killed off id be surprised if they boosted it because its all about best mpg number to corporate. Maybe to replace a v8? Never understood why audi didnt boost it and throw it in the s4? The motor has big potential. But thats why i think its not offered. Just my opinion i could be wrong
