What cars do you know exist but haven’t seen on the road..

VW arteon
Lexus LC

Are two that don’t appear very popular- any others? (And yes I’m bored!)

Infiniti Q60

Which is a shame as I quite like them, from photos anyway.

I followed an Arteon into town on Sunday morning. There aren't many around but they aren't all that rare.

I would have said that Alfa Romeo 8C Competitziones were sufficiently rare but I passed one only this morning!

Sorry, not much help.

I don't think they build them any more but a fairly recent one that I don't think I've ever seen on the road is the Vauxhall Cascada.

There’s a silver Arteon down my road in one direction and Passat cc the other way

I think they are variations on a theme

I did see the other day a maroon Vauxhall casacada convertible ( I think ) only one I’ve seen

Saw my first a couple of weeks ago in central Manchester - it looks absolutely stunning.

I've owned a Pre-Facelift Lexus LS460 since September last year. I looked at a few of them and bought one, but I've not seen another apart from mine on the road since.

I've only ever seen one Lexus LC and it was in Dumfries. Arteons are fairly common if you pay attention. Far more so than the facelifted Mondeo.

Infiniti are withdrawing from the European market and closing their dealerships.

Something strange that's come to my attention is that the Volkswagen Up!, Seat Mii and Skoda Citigo are being discontinued except for electric versions.

I've seen plenty of electric Golfs, but never an electric Up!, even though an electric version has been available for a while.

The Arteon replaced the Passat CC as err...a slightly more upmarket Passat.

It shows you've made it in life. Like this guy:

The Arteon is very common near me. Think I may have only seen 2 or 3 LC's though. First time I had to search and find out what it was. Lovely looking thing

A massive tt, obviously, but that colour on that Arteon looks brilliant

Mercedes EQC400.

Didn't even know these existed until I saw it live and then looked it up.

What got me was the alloys otherwise I would have thought it was a new GLC.
