Interesting... I wonder if it hasn't received approval for AU yet?Quote:

:cool:
wat i do like about the Arteon is its predictive cruise control (smarter version of acc)- where it uses camera + gps to read the road ahead, so if a turn/bend is coming up, it will slow down, and then speed back to the preset speed.
brilliant i say!!
i think its because of legislation in relation to the use of "autonomous vehicles" in australia.Quote:

.....not that this is any safer!!
Great work!!! I pick mine up on Wednesday! Pyrit Silver with all the options! Looking fwd to it!!
Post some pics of yours when you get it - and if you can...especially up close of the paint. I was torn between the Silver and the Manganese Grey.Quote:

The Tumeric Yellow looks great in the photos and online review videos, but when I saw Tumeric Yellow on a Golf in real life, it looks a lot more "mustard" (aka baby poo) than the photo-shopped promo pics you see.
I also had a hard time finding good pics of the Pyrite Silver. In the end I whittled my way down to the manganese grey.

Despite the news that a hot Arteon R is on the way, the fast Volkswagen sedan might not reach Australia when global sales commence around 2019.
