Hopefully not at the cost of functionality. Let's see if they address some of the cramped space issues from the Taycan.

If you're turned off by the minimalist styling of a Tesla this is the car for you. Enough buttons to satisfy even the most hardened seamstress.

Looks great. With the "base" model Taycan starting around $80K, I wonder how/where this fits in though...?

This will be considerably cheaper, like comparing the A7 to the Panamera.

Looks fantastic! Can't wait to drive one!

I'm curious to know if it will have an improved/updated battery or anything significantly different from its pricier cousin in terms of the EV drivetrain.

I guess it's just me, the stance looks awkward. The fake grille work is unnecessary. Overall I think it looks boring.

If there is a base version of this that will be considerably cheaper than the base Taycan, this car will probably do pretty well!

It's rumored to start at $75K and come standard with two motors for AWD, it might actually be the first car that can compete with the Model S on price.

Taycan exterior looks better. But the E-Tron GT interior looks better IMO

Most interesting. It appears rounded styling is making a small comeback?
Overall, it looks great. This is a rare look at what an Audi looks like without a massive, central grille (results: very VW). Although throwing all the black under the headlights gives it a running mascara look.
