Who ever said BMW had the monopoly on pointless cars.

Ookkkaaaayyyyy......

[RAMBLER]

It's very Subura-ish imho...:nono:

[Ruergard]

If Audi produces this... I'm with you Leadie. This is just, pointless and butt ugly! Spare us this please!

[Damienr8]

Hope to God in Heaven that this Concept does not making it into production.

Calm down friends ;)

This is and will be a concept only - BUT - with the intention to give you an outlook at the Q5:

1. shoulder line - seen on the spy pics of the Q5 and looks good on the concept as well

2. rear lid - just imagine it going further up with a rear window

3. i'm not sure how accurate the front is in comarison to the Q5

4. you have to stretch the car in your imagination, as it is shown as a 2 door.

5. interiour hints - don't think we will find all of it in production, but some will come (gauges, middle tunnel?)

greetings
seb.

Is this for real?

One concept car that should stay a concept.

Looks like a bad photoshop. Yuck.

The Q5 already had a concept to display its characteristics

This Cross Quattro monstrosity seems like a mashup of random models.

[chewym]

The Cross Quattro Coupe was Q3 sized. This LA one is Q5 sized, a bit smaller than the A4. I think it should be a big bigger to make a nice Q5.

[Sanjuro]

It's the VW "Thing" for the 21st Century.

Agreed on that. The front end comes up really well in it's context.

[El_cucaracha]

the photoshop looks like RS6 allroad... allroad muscle :D

Yeh i noticed those RS6ish square wheel arches. Interesting taste...
It odd how much a roof changes a car!

[El_cucaracha]

RS6 allroad could be a nice X5M killer :D

as i know, yet there is only one version of engine, 3.0L common rail TDI 500nm and 240hp.... seems to be a nice engine...
a looked at the photo for few minutes, and i think that only thing what i don't like is rear, looks like renault vel-satis or something like that... i like the front, and side.... i think this car is good choice if you live in california or somewhere in spain... warm coast line cities

[Code_2025]

Holy cr*p

[Cargo8]

anyone think they will still bust out the Q5 when the show gets going?

[Audiphile]

I am disappointed at Audi for not bringing the "actual" Q5. I am not sure what the point of this concept is other than to highlight some of the new technologies, especially, in the infotainment area for future Audis. Then the concept makes sense. Also, it hints at some of the lines of the upcoming Q5.

Audi should have brought over the RS6 just for the wow factor or even an A7 concept. Los Angeles is one of Audi's biggest markets in the US, so you would think they would do something to excite the crowds.

[Cargo8]

i agree^^.
ps, just realized/noticed, is your avatar at willow springs?
