Well, we did t. We are officially a 2 VW family again. As much as I should have learned in the past, I keep coming back. I have had at least one VW emblem parked in front of my house since 1989, and now there is two.
Pete here, and yesterday we picked up a 2018 SEL 4motion R-Line. Absolutely fell in love with the Atlas shortly after its release. Our Honda Odyssey was a bit of a "in a pinch" purchase and after 7 years of ownership we decided that Honda builds cars for short people. At 6'3, we needed something with more room for me and the wife, as well as, something that would help our every so aging knees, now that we are in our 40s.
We looked at everything from a KIA Sorento to a Cadillac Escalade. It came down to 3: Toyota Highlander, Dodge Durango, and the VW Atlas. The Durango v6 blew chunks and the MPG of the R/T v8 was worse off then any other. Toyota came in a close second but even the Limited Platinum only had a 4 way adjustable seat and we needed an 8 way. In comes the VW Atlas with its sexy looking R-Line Package, SEL trim line, and big round backside (I like big....and I cannot lie)
As stated above, not new to VW label. 89 GTI 8v, 95 Golf Sport, 96 GTI vr6, 99 Jetta V6, 03 Passat, 11 GTI 4Door, and now a 18 Passat R-Line and 18 Atlas R Line.
Look forward to great conversation a learning a ton!!!
