It would be disappointing if something that looks this good didn’t pack respectable performance. Luckily, the Arteon doesn’t suffer from All Show, No Go Syndrome — it gets moving in a hurry when I pin the throttle to merge onto the speed-limit-free expressway.The 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder spits out 268 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque on my German-spec tester. Not only is the little engine potent with no turbo lag issues, it also belts out an ear-pleasing growl.
