the MKC is a good looking lincoln

ill give it that

 

[Quatto]

yawn....looking at the audi makes me tired. the lincoln on the other hand....looks amazing. You look at it and your eye light up, Lincoln really has done a great job with design here.

 

[Arabay]

You know I actually think the MKC falls between the Q3 and the Q5...

[audifanatic]

yea id say that looks about right

MKC is a tad bit bigger than a Q3

The Audi Q3 looks like an Audi, and that is both its greatest strength and weakness. If people like the look of an Audi then they will like the Q3, but if people are looking for something different, the Lincoln MKC seems like a more interesting choice.

I do wonder how they compare as far as how they drive. I would think that the Audi must have a leg up on the Lincoln as far as how it drives.

 

[Quatto]

Yup, at least they didn't try to make it something it's not, which is what I like. It may not stand out as much as the Lincoln, but there many more reasons you buy an audi

I don't know, they both make similar propositions. AWD CUV's based on FWD only subcompacts...

 

[Quatto]

For a good portion of people buying these it might just come down to which brand they prefer

 

[audifanatic]

the front of the q3 is yawn inducing

 

[Quatto]

the front of the q3 is yawn inducing

LOL, same goes for a lot of Audi vehicles.

 

[audifanatic]

its a mature design but its not going to make anyone excited. that i admit

 

[Otto]

I remember reading an article a while ago that talked about how Audi was going to try to differentiate their models more. Right now they all kinda look the same. Hopefully when they start differentiating them, it also makes them a bit more exciting. The only Audi that seems unique to me is the TT. Everything else is just a different version of the same car.

 

[Quatto]

I will have hope in them doing that once I see something from them, even if it's just a design exercise.

 

[Otto]

Come to think of it I have never really heard of an Audi concept vehicle. Do they even come out with those?

 

[audifanatic]

they have some

but most of the time they just release the production.

 

[Quatto]

I think they mostly do design exercises.

 

[audifanatic]

yea the concept cars are all design exercises showing general design flows

nothing specific

 

[Otto]

They can't be that exciting since Audi design language doesn't seem to have made many changes over the past number of years.

This is the only one I could find that isn't a sketch. What do you think the odds are that they will build this? LOL

Give it 10-15 years, by then the aliens should give up their secret and we'll be moving around like the jetsons
