The 400 doesn't really get interesting scenery-wise until you get well north of Barrie.
The 417 and 416 are ultra-boring as well.
BTW, the autoroutes between Montreal and Quebec City aren't great either, especially the A-20 which is extremely boring between the two cities. The A-40 on the north shore of the St. Lawrence is a bit better scenery-wise.
But yeah, the A-20 east of Quebec City is a nice drive. As is the A-15 into the Laurentians and the A-10 east to Sherbrooke. The A-50 from Gatineau to Mirabel is nice too.

Barrie to Sudbury is 75% of the drive. I guess we'll disagree about the rest.
