On gravel
When the Exeo ST first arrived, I hadn't recalled seeing any others on the road.
But in recent weeks there has certainly been a step change, most notably with four sightings in one day. Indeed, a Seat spokesman told me recently that sales of the Exeo ST are "quietly gaining momentum". Passing an old-generation Audi A4 Avant recently also reminded me quite how similar the two cars are, yet somehow the Exeo manages to look far more modern. As much as I like our striking red, a dark grey model is by far the most flattering colour I have spotted yet.
