If this looks boring I wonder what looks good for you.

Well damn!! They pulled an LC500 and made the production model look 90 percent like the concept! LOVE this!

Is it a hatchback like the A7 and A5 Sportback?

I love the LFA design too, but something like that would never be designed today especially from Lexus. Lol. LFA was great for it's time in my opinion.

No issues with the LFA...its a lovely car..love the fact that it has 2 seats and a V10 blows away any boring electric motor (any day) . But this Audi to me looks better IMO....front end of the LFA to me was meh... but I do like the car.

Sorry, it was more of a general statement. Just used your comment to reply to the topic. Didn't mean to imply you didn't like the LFA.

As seen by current selection in vehicles, I like the utility of a hatchback. Becomes a great jack of all trades type of vehicle for my needs. It already hasa similar fastback design like the A7.

Just looking for similar options for when I'm ready to move on.

oh I c. I was viewing the car as a second or third car. Like SUV in garage with EV Audi and maybe something else.

Starts at $100K... literally the same price and specs as a Taycan 4S. Definitely not cheaper as we expected, and honestly I don't know why anyone would buy the Audi badge over the Porsche at the same price.
I guess that brings my back to my original question - where does this thing fit in...? haha For the money, I'm buying the Taycan and I'm sure I won't be the only one who feels that way. Maybe there will be more of a decision to be made comparing the base trim levels.

I agree. I had a Panamera loaner for a extended period and thought that the trunk size would be a real problem - of the course of a month or so, that was actually never an issue. I think a lot of that had to do with the hatch-style trunk.

I think this looks great and one of the best EVs I’ve seen. With that being said, for the same price I would get the Taycan like others have mentioned.
