I live right beside the Volkswagen plant where they have announced the new SUV Will be made so I thought maybe I saw one but I don't know what this is does anybody else

If you're talking about the Chattanooga plant, that's definitely not the (larger) VW Atlas which will be built there.

I think what you see there in that shot is the next-generation Audi Q5.

New Q8? That's about all I can come up with. Doesn't quite look right, but maybe it's sporting new camo?

The hood is more bumped up and round than that pic shows, but very close and the angles are different so maybe. Also, you can see the badge size and shape on the back in this pic when blown up. The back doesn't look anything like the Q8 above.

How big is it? The overall shape looks like Q5 or 3

btw, haven't seen OLT posting for a while

It was closer to an RX330 in size, but sits low.

I post little, always watching
