I like the placement of the speakers and tweeters, especially in the rear, nice spread of speakers, front and back for rear seated passengers.

These pictures are really cool. Thanks for posting them up for us. The speakers do look well placed. There even looks to be a sub woofer in the trunk, which is a must.

Its interesting to see how the seats and cockpit are in relation to the engine. You just can't really see that in this same way in person.

Yeah we'll there's really no where else ideal to place them, only a couple area's. Good to see they went about it the right way.

It'd be cool if Audi made some pictures that showed what the Audi Q3 was without its body basically. Just the engine and wiring and so forth that are the actual car before the stuff that you actually see is put on.

Here this is basically it... A modular architecture...

 

[audifanatic]

are the safety ratings out yet?

 

[Quatto]

I have yet to see anything. Looking forward to seeing what it will do in crash tests

 

[audifanatic]

probably going to be some time before we see crash tests

 

[Quatto]

It will.
Even when we do, if it's from NCAP, it wont directly apply to America but will be a good way to get an idea of what it will do in NHTSA tests

 

[audifanatic]

NCAP is just as good imo

 

[Quatto]

Do you know how their standards might be different from the NHTSA?

 

[audifanatic]

im sure a google search will show u

they have different tests

but both of them are good.

good show, 5 stars it is!

 

[Triggs]

is there a big difference from eurocap to nhtsa?

not a big difference, they are working to unify the standards to bring down development costs.
