And random rant it just feels like a bunch of kids are designing cars to all look the same on the computer. A luxury car used to have luxurious proportions. It’s all so blended now. Part of it is Hyundai and Kia hired ex Audi, Bentley etc designers.
There might be a shift to Bentley and Rolls and Maserati because this is all so meh to me. Maybe I’m getting older but I’ve never seen the designs as appealing as I do now.
Wild cause maybe for a decade plus Audi design just didn’t miss…
General ride comfort and high speed balance is still unmatched i would say, at least in the compact and midsize segments.. full size is almost non-existent for non-luxury but were very comfortable cars.I agree, and same thing for interiors too. Where luxury cars once felt truly special and far elevated over mainstream brands... the lines are so blurred now that it makes you stop and wonder if the extra $$ is worth it on luxury brands.
Curious to know the problem with the European taillights that causes the compatibility issue with US federal regulations?
It's less the details than the things you'd immediately see. They have very similar fake spoilers, the lower part of the back end is the same basic shape, and the surfacing on the doors is quite similar. At a glance it reads as a Kia, and until you see the rings you don't know. That's great for Kia, not so much for Audi.Honestly, not saying this because I like the Audi a lot but I don't see it. The only similarity is the light bar which even then is flipped upside down. The lower valance is a different shape, the trunk design, rear quarter panel, C-pillar are all totally different in my eyes.
