2018 Volkswagen Atlas R-Line

Large CUV - Aftermarket (Copycat Award)

​      With a final score of 49.13%, the new Atlas R is a slight move for the VW brand.  Sure the Atlas just came out and the R&D money may not be there tomorrow, but really did you have to make the R model so cheap.

​    The Atlas wins a Copycat Award for utilizing the rear of a Jeep Grand Cherokee.  Even the R version uses the SRT rear from the Grand Cherokee family.  Guess someone at VW thought that Jeep was going to be the Atlas main competitor.
