    Arteon Spotted

    So I live around Brisbane, and I've owned my car since December 27th. I've seen 1 other Arteon on the road in almost 6 months - a Tumeric Yellow one and it was around Toowong.

    Is it just me - is everyone here like the 3 or 4 owners in all of Australia? LOL

    Seriously though - I just don't see as many as I thought I would.

    I've only seen a couple of Arteons on the road but I don't think that's unusual for a low volume model. Holden Equinox has been on sale since November and I'm just starting to see more of those on the road now even though they've been selling 200-500 per month.

    Ha, only the select few (aka suckers) have bought one.

    I've seen more CCs since I got mine.

    I've seen 1 or 2 in Brisbane (peak hour city driving). It was dark when I saw the 2nd one, wasn't certain if it was actually an Arteon or not.

    I've been interested in getting one, but would be waiting for a V6... but given the timeline for that, it's probably worth holding out a little longer for something electric instead.

    Interestingly, I saw 2 black Arteons parked within 1km of each other on the streets around Fitzroy a couple of weekends ago.

    I'm enjoying being 'unique' for a while with my arteon... even had a guy jump out with a camera at a set of lights, take a profile shot of the car, gimme a thumbs up and jump back in his car before the lights changed! Ferrari attention on a volkswagen budget!

    Haha...but the following scenario....

    "Nice ride, what's the retail on one of those?"

    "More than you can afford...…Volkswagen"

    ...just doesn't have the same ring to it.

    It's simply a matter of in the price point they're sold at, there are more popular options... And people shopping for that sort of car probably don't even consider VW to be a maker/seller of such an animal.

    The residual values are already tanking too. They're going to be fantastic value one owner cars!
