Default Audi Q8 Debuts

Well Audi officially debuted the Q8. Aside from the mess that's happening on the front end, I think it looks good. On the whole coupe SUV aspect, I think they failed, which isn't a bad thing, as it has a more traditional SUV looking body.

Maybe I need to see it in a different color, but I'm not liking the front or that bar in the back. Interior looks nice though

Looks pretty damn good to me. Even better than the Lambo Huracan

Exterior looks okay for a dumpy SUV, interior looks bad, another touchscreen nightmare.

Pretty ugly exterior. The interior is nice though minus the touch screen.

The exterior looks surprisingly like the concept IIRC. Kinda like it, but it also doesn't scream "luxury" to me. Looks like a class below from the exterior. Love the interior though, totally fitting for this car - it's like a bolder version of the A6 interior in a way.

They passed around the ugly stick. Now Audi is holding it.

Jesus F.

and look how close the front wheel is to the front door. Even toyota could make this.

I like the interior though. It just looks cleaner without the navigation screen bump in the middle of the dashboard.

I hate the color but really like the design. With all of these "new" models coming out in this type of design from various manufacturers, I wonder if Toyota regrets killing the Venza. Seems like a refresh and updates on that would serve them well in this market.

I'm sure it'll be very nice, but like most current Audis, it evokes no real emotion from me. It's like "yup, there's another Audi. Don't love it, don't hate it."

So this is supposed to be a flagship? Does not look like it.

Looks better than the q5/q7 design.

I don't get this:

The Audi Q8 is the brand's new full-size SUV, a sibling to the Q7 but wider, shorter and lower.
in order to be full-size, don't you need the length to be long also or they make the inside somewhow roomier ?

I like the looks but don't understand how this is the flagship. It looks too small to me to be a flagship.

Looks like a toy, a really cheap toy.
