Looks better than a Urus, but sounds so weird.

That flub, flub, flub, flub is so unpleasant.

From a distance, in profile, it actually has nice proportions. I’d be much more interested if it was, like, 5/8ths the size ( those are TWENTY-THREE inch wheels!! ) ?

Like this:

Whatever that white thing is gives me Corrado vibes and that’s a good thing.

I actually saw a Urus in traffic on the 101 in the Valley the other day. I was too slow to get a pic, but giggled because the car is a lot smaller than the norm for the category— so “The Rich Guy” who owned it had put a luggage carrier (body color matched) up on a roof rack...

Looked hilarious. Like it defeated the whole purpose of owning a Sporty Sport Utility with limited Utility.

Within 5 minutes I also saw the Bentley SUV, which IS of ample girth.  No roof luggage on that beast.

Those Bentleys are actually shockingly well proportioned and cool looking for what they are.

The Urus is better looking imho... it’s actually the best looking of the four in my mind....

The Quattro Concept is just the best...

Real question is, RSQ8 or RS6 Avant?

Personally, I’m going RS6

Sometimes, the world needs more “bland”.

The Audi's grille is too big, the Bentayga's back end is a mess, the Cayenne Coupe is too bloated, and the Urus is sharp and brilliant.

Yeah, I actually LIKE the lines on the Urus in the flesh— and, compared to first-gen efforts like X5 and Cayenne, I think it’s a pretty good first try.

HOWEVER, when you have to put a big, ugly wart of a luggage bin on the roof? Kinda ruins the effect, especially as it makes obvious the lack of space inside.

I’m sure it goes like stink, though.

I *think* it’s the first passenger car on the market with factory 23-inch wheels, which is somewhat surprising considering the amount of bloated SUVs already with factory 22-inch wheels.

I wouldn’t want to shill out for those tires.

But I think its meant to look like that, plus the exhaust tips aren't fake and the interior is better

To be honest, I think that Audi tried to make the RS look like a Q car but it failed because it's trying too hard to make it "subtle" where the lambo embraces that it is in fact a stupid, ridiculous vehicle.

I don’t think Lamborghini’s supercar design language translated well to an SUV.

I just can't agree... Its so stupid just like any other lambo, except that you can use it to go to Ikea!

I remember that. such a waste of an amazing design. Though it did show what was in Audi’s future, stylewise, which I guess was what it was for.

I wanted them to just make it and sell it so bad.

WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAnowbacktoGTI > Spanfeller is a twat 09/24/2020 at 15:59

I disagree. my order, just on style, would be

#1 RSQ8

#2 Porch

#3 Bentayyyy ga

#4 URUS.

I hate the Urus front end, and tolerate the rest of it.

I still do, but that ship has sailed.

The second quattro concept was such a disappointment in comparison.

G gets a pass.

My point is, if there’s no more ground clearance than a station wagon, then it’s a station wagon.

I mean, they have the breakover angle of a Corvette........

For me;

2. Cayenne Coupe
3. Bentayga
4. Q8

Ditto with the interiors

My taste would want a RSQ8 exterior with the Bentaygo interior, but that’s just my weirdness.

All 4 have great interiors, I have no issues with any of them.

That’s fair, it’s actually a neat choice; I think Audi interiors are becoming too tesla-esque and the bentley interior is anti-tesla.

Okay, the Cayenne coupe with the central exhausts is best MLBevo.

I wasn’t a fan of these until we went and test drive one (regular Q8, not an S or RS).

It’s beautiful on the inside and the back seat is where it really shines. Tons of room. It’s definitely the roomiest of this class of thing. Whatever that is...

Funny enough, the argument you’d probably get from a lot of folks (non-enthusiast types) is that station wagons aren’t sporty, so they wouldn’t consider them as such. Whereas Sport-Utility Vehicle almost has it right in the name.

The good thing about the Q8 and also the Cayenne “Coupe” are even though they have swoopier back ends than the regular crossovers they’re based on, they still have reasonably upright rear windows for visibility, and decent enough rear headroom.

I suppose some/many people want their SUV “coupes” to be as stupid as possible, hence the hordes of much-more compromised BMW and Mercedes ones I see out in the wild. But as we all know, those are SHIT .
