Here it is. Looks good, although white may not be the best with those gray accent pieces, but overall nice, the poor man's Taycan A pleasant surprise was the physical HVAC controls in the interior, I would have thought they would use their touchscreen HVAC system, but this is much better. My biggest issue however is it looks like the armrest is way too far back and won't be accessible in most driving positions.

How is it that Honda knows about directional wheels, but VAG doesn't seem to? Otherwise, pretty good. I assume it will have much better range than the stupid eTron SUV?

Let's hope, but it is based off the Taycan so range will likely be better in real world use than EPA estimates. What I'm wondering is pricing. Will it be in line with an A4/S4 or A6/S6? My guess is the latter. They have to make it competitive enough with Tesla and future contenders like the i4, but not enough that it hurts the Taycan.

Rear end looks odd to me, looks like the trunk is almost too low. Taycan definitely pull it off better in that regards.

Agree, its more abrupt in the rear than the Taycan. The Taycan pulls it off better because of those curvy hips in the rear and the built in ducktail from the taillights.

I am very curious to see how they handle the entry level model since I would not expect a RWD Audi sedan, and I strongly doubt they will ever do a FWD Audi EV. It's built on the J1 platform that underpins the Taycan. |

They're gonna sell a lot of these. I can see A7 sales being cannibalized.
I still can't get over having a so-called "sporty" car without a proper gear lever.

That was my thought exactly once it was revealed.

The Taycan is a great car, but no way in hell am I paying over $100k for Porsche without an engine in the middle or rear of the car or a manual transmission |

Agree, will likely work better in darker colors, or maybe they will offer a package to change it considering the concept's grill had a different design.
