What's the one in camo wrap ahead of the Q9? It looks a little different.

Not happy about the split headlights or Mach-E style window trim door handles.

Still going with Hyundai styling vibes. Don't care for their new design language.

Ditto. The rear with the light bar & lights above look very much like Hyundai offerings

I hate the split headlight look. The new S5 looks like a Hyundai to me. They've really gone off course with their design language.

That's because it's the same designer.

Massive and idiotic mistake on Audis part to make their cars look like this. So downmarket looking and the split headlight trend is just stupid

I think the Q9 looks great. Interior quality looks to be the best we’ve seen from Audi in a while.

All it's missing is wood trim and a gear shifter. Could be better.
