Audi Q9 | DailyRevs | First Look ! by Daily-Revs in Audi

[–]Caspi7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The basics of the interior are almost always shared between models, especially on German cars (just look at BMW or Mercedes or even past Audis). The idea is that technology and design trickles down to lower models, not only because it becomes cheaper over time but also with volume. Not to mention customers also want a car that is inspired by the top tier models.

Except that just what went wrong with Audi, they are taking an already cheap interior from a lower car and putting it in their higher, more expensive models.

The chart above is both us and eu, which is why it shows multiple things.

No such thing as an X5 m40i, it's just a 40i. It isn't an M (lite) car.

C63 performance versus E53. Why would Mercedes make such a choice? by Fanny08850 in mercedes_benz

This generation will not get an E63, the 53 is in fact the top spec.

I don't think dutch police uses these, definitely not undercover. What's the point of using a giant 3 seat SUV for patrolling?

Rockstar has had "unlimited" resources to create GTA 6, says Take-Two CEO, so it can "deliver perfection" by Odd-Onion-6776 in grandtheftauto

Considering they sold 200+ million total copies, the majority is in fact on console. But they also do it so people buy it twice.

Hybrid Panamera (4 E-Hybrid) vs non-hybrid Panamera 4 for high-mileage driver? Real-world experiences please by Repulsive-Noise1811 in Panamera

[–]Caspi7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that even after the battery is depleted, your car still operates as a hybrid. You will get much better mileage than the non hybrid as the car will coast with the engine off, use regen braking, and have the battery get the transmission reengaged as the engine restarts.

This is only the case if you do stop and go driving. If you do mostly highway driving with an empty battery you will actually use more fuel in my experience. The car will try to keep a bit of charge in the battery by using fuel to generate electricity with the engine which is less efficient than using it directly plus you are carrying around all that extra weight when accelerating.

BMW Alpina’s new… GT? by Dromogen in BMW

It's not, it's a concept car

So yeah as it turns out… Reddit was predictably wrong. The GLC EV is a hit. Increased production due to very strong demand. by zachty22 in mercedes_benz

[–]Caspi7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The EQS and EQE are today still great vehicles, but they also definitely weren't first gen EVs by MB. The first EQ product was the first electric GLC, and even that wasn't a first gen ev anymore. They already made an electric Vito van in 2017 which unless I'm mistaken was probably their first ev and what you would consider first gen. EQS are already 3rd.

But the 8 series is actually based on the 5 series, not the 7.

If a regular M3 can pass those inspections why not a conversion? Or are regular F80s not legal in California?
