I like the idea of the liftback; there are always times they come in handy. I think the avant is even better, but this is good too.

I don't get all the venom. Okay, admittedly, I wish Audi would just focus on what they're really fucking good at - RS4, RS5, RS6, R8 - but I don't see the problem with it. I admit, I have a German car bias, so maybe that's clouding my judgement, but I don't think so. I hated the BMW X6, and thought it looked like a semi-melted Aztek. This, to me, while not exactly gorgeous, certainly isn't bad, and is a whole heaping hell of a lot better than, well, ANYTHING out of Toyota.

Blame it all on the ridiculous CAFE Requirements here in the States. Again, until we reform the fuel economy standards, there will be two different targets, one for cars, and one for trucks. This will be classified as a Truck, and will only have to achieve a lower standard, as well as not get hit with a Gas Guzzler charge that only cars seem to be assessed with.

This is also the main reason why we don't see more Wagons instead of these crossovers. This would be one of the first things that should be changed with the new administration, but there is so many things that need to be changed, where to start?

@UDMan: The Germans ignore the CAFE standards, they elect to just pay the fines.

@kumbayacars: Yes, they do. But they still produce trucks, which they don't have to. The Touareg, BMW X3, X5, X6, Porsche Cayenne, and even the Audi Q7 are all Truck Based. And all of them could be replaced by wagon versions of their sedans.

I loathe tall beltlines, and I cannot lie. You other brothas can't deny/ When you see a car with itty-bitty windows, you can't see in 'dose, but they can't - see - out!

This counts as a crossover? Why, because it has tires the size of Ferris wheels?

While renderings do look cool with monstrous tires, somehow I feel ambivalent seeing them actually on a concept. Heartbreaking.
