Hello chaps - just a quickie on the Telegraph article. I think the point that is missed when reviewers compare the Exeo with a used A4 is that over 75% of sales in this segment go to fleet - and, by and large, fleets only buy new cars.
Also, many company car drivers aren't allowed to tick much at all in the options list, so the more standard specification a car has, the better.
A V8 would be nice of course - but in the current economic crisis, these sort of engine options are simply not viable.
Oh, and I've driven the Exeo on many occasions during the past few weeks. I can happily report that it's far from boring! The UK press launch is next week, and SEATCupra.net will be there.
Cheers, Mike
