Stinger GT all day every day over this.
I agree, the wrong wheel drive platform kills this thing for me.
This. Also 4-pot only is a problem for me at ~ $50k.

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.
