Audi etron

Just reserved one.

I'm only afraid for my needs it's going to be too small.

Nice looking car other than the terrible wheels.

Add a couple of options and you’re pushing 100k for this thing. Ouch!

Good looking car, seems a bit pricey though.

Nice

I am waiting for sedans, no interest in SUV platforms

Tesla will soon be gone once the big-boys catch-up.

Agreed, the wheels could use some work. Other than that it's a looker.

On recent vacations we rented a Q7 & Q5, loved them both.

I got the trouble n strife a Q7 and they are great cars. Can deny the quality of an Audi. Can you change the wheels?

Interesting. I've been softly looking to replace the Mrs current vehicle - Lexus GX. She wants an Escalade - I was leaning towards a Q7. This could be an interesting alternative - love the no fuel aspect.

Enjoying my 2018 Audi A4. A little under the radar with BMW and Mercedes, but my car seems well made as of month four.

Hope you enjoy yours!

Yeah, the 21s that come with the prestige package don't look bad. See pic above (thanks, Jason)

I currently have a Q7 (dirty diesel) and have had no issues with the car except the usual wear and tear items. I use every square foot of the interior, though....so my concern that this is more Q5 sizing.

It's clever how they are partnering with Amazon to do the home charging installs.

Congrats! I love everything about this new model. Unfortunately (or not), I will be driving my Q5 TDI until the wheels fall off because I love it so much.

My wife, on the other hand, will be waiting for the Q7 variant, which should be released in a couple of years. Hopefully, my wife can wait until then. If not, we will be driving a Q7 gas model. My biking buddy just picked one up and we drove up through the Colorado mountains last week. Hard to bellieve it was such a big vehicle the way it handled the tight turns.

LOVE my TDI! I have a Q7, though and I use ever inch of the inside space....thats why I'm concerned that I won't be able to make the etron work. I love the Tesla X (which would for my needs) but at that price point I expect a little more in regards to comfort and reliability.

My Q has massive tires and with Quattro it handles like a sports car but the new Q has less storage space. No spare tire and somehow decresed usable space....don't get it.

I have an Audi S7 and spend endless hours scheming on how to destroy it of make it disappear...All my friends warned me to stay away, reminding me of Audi’s early 90’s electrical, which I thought were preposterous claims... I was wrong. My car has every imaginable electrical problem and soooooo many design flaws...

I hope they improve with these new models
