He did not just help create the company, he actually sketched the Beetle himself working with Porsche… But then the war came and then it was over… the VW plant was in the British sector and in the basement of the bomb damaged factory were enough parts to do a production run of cars. The British army supervised the manufacture and German workers who needed jobs and food to eat built the cars and they sold them, using the money to buy the next round of parts and lineally financed the restart of the company this way… and step by step built VW into the powerhouse it is today… So yes the beginnings were totally ties to Hitler and the Nazi Party but the rebirth has in very real terms been a German Success story with the initial help from and by the British Army, very entrepreneurial and old fashioned hard work… Spoiler alert… I am a JEW… My family lost dozens to the theft and murder of the Holocaust. My Grandfather refused to buy a German car after the war and for the balance of his life.. but Germany today is not Germany of yesterday, Germany has basically donated a fleet of Dolphin Submarines to the State of Israel which are Israels secure second strike capability that effectively guarantees the survival of the Jewish State… My Mother - who was nine years old when the Nazis marched into her home town owns a Volkswagen… I own a Mercedes… Germany today is NOT Germany of yesterday… and neither is Volkswagen. Its beginnings are not its present or its future… If MY Mother can own and drive a VW… well then everyone can get past how the company was founded and by whom… -Dan Abraham Erlich

I did not drive the Kia stinger when I bought my Arteon but I have a friend who got a GT2 stinger and really likes it, I just got the VW because it was just a little bit more comfortable and the digital display both for the gauge cluster and infotainment are really intuitive and really nice and have aged well.

I'm shocked that there aren't more Stingers on the road. I do believe that $50k is a bit much for a Kia sedan. As nice as the car is, it's serious money with lots of competition. Kia really needs to overdeliver until the stigma of the badge goes away. And I just wouldn't want to have to deal with a Kia dealership. But there is no denying that this car is absolutely fantastic.

@@aashishdhawan3824 By Volk for Volk! TBH though, Volkswagen did nothing wrong.

Such a great review - just came across you guys looking for Stinger videos, since I just bought a 2020 GT Limited myself. You guys are hilarious! The Arteon is a nice looking car, for the most part... But that flat semicircle around the wheel wells? DO NOT LIKE.

Up until now, I wasn't a fan of the Arteon's styling, but I gotta say... the Chili Red paint, 20-inch graphite turbine wheels, and integrated LED DRLs make the Arteon look quite striking. I like the two-tone leather with the light gray inserts as well. Nicely done, although the MSRP is too high. Luckily there are discounts to be had on these.

I suggest Stinger versus Charger would be another interesting match.

Well this isn't a boat comparison. Just kidding but i think the Stinger is just better for sportive driving on a curvy landroad. The Charger is a cruiser. But both are fucking heavy.

I own a Stinger GT2 but recently went to California and rented a Dodge Charger RT. Performance wise, the Stinger completely destroys the Charger. That said, the Charger exhaust sounds better and it handled pretty well. I am glad I rented it, had some fun with it on some winding roads. It did reaffirm my choice in the Stinger though. The interior of the Charger is crap compared to the Stinger.

Plus the Arteon has a lot of history and heritage to it. Nobody can buy a Kia, who originally just made below average quality bicycle parts, and think, "Hitler personally created this manufacturer as his dream for a people's car".

depends .. to me the Arteon looks like a squeezed Passat with parts from the box of bricks system VW uses. You find parts from all series of models from Seat, VW, ... all over the place. There's no unique part just used for the flagship only!

This needs an update. The additional 32hp and DSG make a world of difference. I also found the drive modes on the new Arteon make a big difference in how it drives. While less sporty than the Stinger, the 2022 revisions gave the Arteon a real dose of sportiness.

The stinger had one last update too and its got a new infotainment system, bigger screen and its faster, which was the only issue with the stinger, they also got rid of the 4 cylinder and diesel versions, its also significantly cheaper now and you can get a used one for around 20k. In my opinion a superior car to the Passat reskin

Great review, good interplay with good humor--fascinating for me because I drive a car that's really right between these two. My 2007 Hyundai Azera has punch (for it's day, 263hp), but also all of the room and comfort of the Arteon. Not a hatch, but a huge trunk with fold down seats. High reliability--still concerned about VW electricals. Both cars look better than the Azera, but that's the march of time. And the 13 speaker 600-watt Infiniti isn't bad either. I expect to look into the 2.4 Stinger at some point--after I've put yet another 100k on the Azera. Daughter has a 2012 Kia Soul with 170k on it now, it's been humming since new. Azera is a steal because they depreciated as if they were bad old Hyundais. Not surprised at all to hear about the Stinger and the G70...

DazdnConfuzd I was thinking of something similar. I really like elements of both, like the front of the VW, which also emphasizes how bad the front of the stinger looks (and those dumb side marker stripes on the taillights). I’d like to fit the front end/ interior front cabin of the vw, and combine it w the remaining parts of the stinger.

The opening sketch is so hilarious. I miss these guys but they're staying safe in Canada. About the Stinger, I think I prefer this interior design to the Telluride/2021 Optima. They both have wonderful interiors but I think if they deleted the faux stitching and faux wood, as well as both are implemented, those two would be even more premium looking. The Stinger doesn't have that and looks fine without it. I l really like the Stinger's interior and hope they don't add faux wood, or even real wood, when it is redesigned.

I dig this channel very much. I finally drove an Arteon (actually, both the new one and the old one) on the same day (yesterday) after waiting 2 years. I've always been attracted to the leatherette seat availability and the potential for tuning (which is massive.) I drove the 300hp version and even keeping it under 4000 rpm (pre-breakin) it felt pretty nice. Then I drove the 268hp one a few hours later, and booted it... honestly I don't even think I'd need to tune the thing. Fun as hell... almost tempted to drop my 2020 WRX for one... (crazy, I know). Perspective, 2017 GTI 6spd is my daily, and I traded my E63 wagon for an Alltrack (and some coin)....so feel free to call me a nut. EDIT: I would have bought a Stinger GT years ago if they had leatherette. Keep making the awesome content fellas.

Both great looking cars! I'd go Stinger though for the extra sportiness.

I love the Stinger. The Harmon Kardon speakers make any song sound good. I saw a video a couple years ago where someone in the US bought a Stinger and ordered the Korean version of the middle console. It has a lid that covers the cupholders. Makes it look cleaner.

The beginning is absolutely the best intro

My friend bought a used 2019 Stinger 4 cyl. for only 22K. With 255 HP it is plenty fast. No problems with acceleration or performance whatsoever. Plus, he got a great deal! Best investment he ever made.

"I'll take a A. Lange & Söhne" Oooo fancy.

The stinger's red interior looks absolutely sublime.

i think you guys missed something important on the Arteon. If you go into settings, you can set a custom mode for the dynamic chassis control. There are several stops tighter then the custom mode. It does make a difference.
