Light changes should help the big crossover fit in with newer models
It looks like the 2020 Audi Q7 will feature refreshed styling when it arrives on the scene some time next year. Having introduced completely new versions of the A8, A7 and A6, not to mention a new model in the Q8, it comes as no surprise that Audi will be applying the various new styling cues to existing models. We've seen this happen with the A4 and given these spy photos, it seems the Q7 three-row c...
Castagna Milano is one of those boutique carrozzeria design firms that builds one-off or highly limited production cars for those with a bountiful wallet. "Coachbuilt" is what their creations would qualify as, and if you ever wanted to build something like an A8 Avant... Castagna Milano is the sort of company you'd probably hire.
A few days ago, Castagna posted two images of this Audi A8 design on their Facebook page. The post (translated from Italian) states:

I make it no secret that I think this is the best looking vehicle that Audi has shown in the last several years so I've decided that having a photo gallery of this beauty would be ideal...at least for me. So sit back and enjoy the gallery from drawing to reality.

Developed alongside the Porsche Taycan, Audi's sleek electric four-door is still a long way from reality.
According to Audi, the Audi e-tron GT concept represents the logical next step in the brand's effort to grow its presence in the EV segment. While there is truth to that statement, logic rarely arrives wrapped in such a seductive package. After a short, low-speed excursion behind the wheel, we'd say the e-tron GT concept is a four-door EV missile launched on a prec...

Audi's first mass-produced electric vehicle channels the character of its gas-powered cars.
It seems odd at first, to be driving the all-electric 2019 Audi e-tron in the oil-rich Middle East. But even the United Arab Emirates, a country smaller than Maine sitting on 6 percent of the world's oil reserves, can't avoid the clean-energy future. Within a few decades, the UAE's near-bottomless oil wells could be as valuable as a basement full of AOL free-hours floppy...

There's no doubt that car reviewer Doug DeMuro commands a considerable audience on on Youtube. Doug holds an interesting space and a lot of influence in the lexicon of car journalists, and so when he calls out Audi it's certainly worth taking note. Today he did in his first op/ed style video, and many of our members noticed.
