Just back from an 18 day family Euro road trip (France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and back through France to UK) and was keeping an eye out for Arteons while travelling, especially as I've only seen a couple in the UK so far. I expected I'd see loads on the autobahn at least.
In summary, my highly unscientific survey of European Arteon ownership suggests that they're just as rare in Continental Europe as they are in the UK. After 4000km of road I spotted a grand total of 4 Arteons:
1. Italian registered, driving south from the Brenner Pass in northern Italy
2. Italian registered, parked in Sirmione, on Lake Garda
3. Italian registered, on motorway driving south of Verona
4. French registered, driving through Alsace
None at all on German roads, most surprisingly.
I can only therefore conclude that the Arteon's beauty appeals more to the style conscious Italians and French than their less flamboyant north European cousins :smile_big:
