Didn't see many R8s on the continent.

I have just come back from a trip through Holland, Germany and Austria. I saw huge numbers of 911s, especially around Dusseldorf and Stuttgart. However, I only say 3 Audi R8s throughout the entire trip.

Are the Germans not buying them? I wondered if it is because they see Audi like we see Ford/Vauxhall and therefore the R8 is not prestige in their view.

Any ideas?

A couple of years back on a trip to Hamburg I saw 1 x 911 in a week.
 
Thinking about it, I don't seem to see anything like as many R8s as I used to in the UK any more. Howmanyleft's new registrations stats don't exactly point to it being a huge seller here in general either.
 
Your right you know, now you mention it I rarely see one :?:
 
Production is expected to cease in a couple of years. Poor sales must be a factor.
