Stinger GT all day every day over this.
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

I agree, the wrong wheel drive platform kills this thing for me.
Lighten up Francis.....

This.  Also 4-pot only is a problem for me at ~ $50k.

Love me some smites.  ;D  I've got no issue with a 4 pot in a hot hatch or even an entry level compact luxury sedan.  But a premium executive express machine that the Arteon aspires to be, and at this price point, calls for more, IMO.  At least as an option.

Yeah I've seen those with the red interior - pure fire.

Saw a black Stinger with black wheels and a red interior the other day and it's the first one I've seen that I thought actually looked good.

The Arteon Shooting Brake is quite the looker:

4 doors does not a shooting brake make
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Yeah but we don't get that here so the point is moot....and again with the Germans using words wrong, a shooting brake is a two door wagon.
