Hello,

I am Tim Healey, the Managing Editor of TTAC.com, and I just drove the Arteon two days ago. Go ahead and ask me anything!

Welcome!
If you had seat time in the Kia Stinger and Buck Regal RS, how does the Arteon compare?
It's a better all-around car than the Regal GS, although the GS isn't that far off in terms of handling. I've driven the four-cylinder Stinger, but not hard, so it's hard to compare.

Would you say the Regal GS is sporty enough?

The Stinger and Arteon have a level of sportiness i'm after, more so the Stinger, but the Arteon's reserved styling also interests me.
The GS is pretty sporty, so yeah it's probably enough.

As for the Stinger -- it's really sporty in GT guise, but I have only driven the four-cylinder around town. Haven't driven that version hard. So it's tough to say.
The fact I haven't seen any of them on the road is a bit concerning. Meanwhile Arteon's hit the road before most even knew it was a thing!
I think that alone says a lot about which is the long-term winner unless some Japanese automaker tops it.
