The Q8 with a body color grill surround because I was curious.

In my opinion it should be an option.

That looks significantly better.

It is. Other press images show it with the surround painted

They named a car for a gas station? Sounds like foreshadowing to me.

Better, but still wouldn’t touch it with a pole the size of Africa. Can you also get rid of it’s bags underneath the headlights?

definitely better, I’d also continue that blade thing to the grill and split the octagon thing in two parts. the blade reminds me of the Chevys which look terrible.

Why does Jalopnik always skimp on the press photos? Especially considering their hot take.

Thanks though.

The Acadia is a worse offender because you see it more.

I live in Michigan and can’t think of what you’re referring to.

The blade is the new floating roof.

They wanted to make a point that the car is ugly, and the monotone Q8 undermines that take a little. It still looks more like a Q2 on steroids than a fancied-up Q7 tho

As usual, the Touareg remains the most handsome of the big VAG SUVS

Maybe black? To match the grille. I can’t say I’m a fan of the new Audi styling direction. But so be it, I’m not buying them new anyway.

It’s European/Kuwaiti — which is why I find it odd that a company from Europe would use a name that’s already very recognizable elsewhere. A very Chinese thing to do. But today is the first I’ve heard of the model...

I don’t mind the Q8 when all the same color, America doesn’t get the new Touareg anyways.

It does seem small though next to that lady.

Name makes sense in their lineup. I bet they’ll sell the most in America and China anyways.

Audi’s press release says “The Audi Q8 combines the elegance of a four-door luxury coupé with the practical versatility of a large SUV,”

very odd that they show the grill surround painted in those but the wheel well and rocker panel trim is grey, but it those parts are painted when the grill is grey.

Different trims. The Q8 with the grey grill surround is likely the Sport trim (the interior pictures in the Jalopnik article have Audi’ S sport seats in light gray) while the one with the surround painted is likely the Design trim based on the interior pic with the comfy “Individual” seats in brown
