Marketing is marketing... but the "new" Q5 is certainly far more inconspicuous looking than the audacious, overstlyed RX.
In fact, it's kind of ironic considering how bland all of Audi's lineup is.
And more free advertising for Lexus, essentially acknowledging #1 vehicle in that segment.
By contrast, the Q5 looks like it's the box the RDX comes in.
And more free advertising for Lexus,
I did specifically mean RDX as in Acura (because it's also a bland-looking CUV), but either one could probably fit in a Suburban
Yes, probably still #1 in sales, although that huge spindle grille up front (one of the largest on any Lexus product to date) seems to have had at least some negative effect.
Maybe (?)
They only displayed the RX image for a second or two. We auto enthusiasts, of course, could recognize it immediately, but that might not be the case for the rank-and-file public , who are not into cars like we are.
Yes, maybe a second or two if free advertising for RX, excluding those with impaired vision of course. Don't have to be an enthusiast to recognize a Lexus RX. And remember who Audi is targeting in this ad. Maybe (?) this reply is a waste of time,lol.
Fortunately I was drinking good Peet's coffee to get me through the boring commercial.
Black, white, and a bunch of various silver and gray shades seem to be taking over the industry....although the Pepperdust Metallic color I ordered my new car in seemed to be an interesting-looking shade of smoke-grayish/champagne.Maybe if the Q5 shown wasn't such a dull color
Even though this new '18 Q5 is a redesign (therefore Audi claims 198 pounds lighter), most will assume it's a refresh at best.
The new Q5 is beyond bland I think they need a reality check here.
