The current car was recently culled from the UK VW range, having sold just 379 units from the beginning of the year to 1 October. In the same period, VW sold 52,722 Golfs…

A midget arteon on the outside and a 3 series bmw with an E-class instrument cluster and touchscreen essentially so in other words will sell really well if it’s a decent price and comfy

It’s the same thing, just that this production model is a base model
