Seriously, who the actual fvck is buying these things? The X6 was bad enough, but then to see Merc copy it and now Audi? Is it some sort of man-child fascination and insecurity about having never done the Paris-Dakar, that they want to pretend they're doing it while on the school run?
Cheers,

Mike.

Well they’ve fucked up there. I thought (opposite to BMW) that the odd numbers were supposed to be the coupe-ish ones.

The A5 is the coupe version of the A4.
The A7 is the coupe(hatch) version of the A6.
Now the Q8 is the coupe version of the Q7...?

Similar roof line to the Urus, and iirc there is/was talk of a Touareg coupe for China.
