I didn't say it has the same Cargo as an A3. People who buy these seem to not care about hauling anything, they just want to look cute. Just like the Mom in the enormous SUV's and only have 1-2 kids. Total waste and useless.

Just because you don't see people hauling cargo up to the window lines, or see "mom" driving car pool with all the neighbor's kids, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, and isn't "useless". You buy the car that's good for you, and let your neighbor do the same.

This is a nice evolution over the previous Q3. It has all the updates and does not have a dated look like the RX exterior and interior wise. It will give the UX and NX some competition and show how badly Lexus is in with regard to infotainment/navigation/tech interfaces. I wonder why Lexus needs 2 models in the compact SUV space to begin with. Audi gets it done with just one in the Q3. The adjustable rear passenger seats is a nice touch to ensure it overcomes it's biggest weakness of lack of 2nd row space. I wouldnt consider anything smaller than a Q5 previously and Audi has stepped up with an attractive and appealing upgrade over the former Q3.

This is not the Q3; this is the Q3 Sportback. Just like BMW has an X1 and an X2.

This century? Putting a bicycle in your 1970s Buick is not what was intended by that comment.

This century.

And I never had a 70s Buick.

Bit is correct, though, that, in most cases, a sedan is not the ideal vehicle for lugging bicycles.
