Is the SQ6 an EV?

The Q6/ SQ6 e-tron are EVs but I hate the elongated curved display on those.

Looks like the front passenger gets a tiny display too!

Audi won't need to do much to surpass BMW interiors if we're being honest!

I realized the instrument layout I like seem to be similar to BMW's iDrive 7, with the binnacle, and a big enough infotainment screen that's tacked onto the dashboard. I don't think they're tacky and appreciate information is along the line of sight. TBH, I'm not even digging the Taycan instrument cluster but I'm sure it's going to be one hell of a sweet ride lol.

Lexus UX
Many Mazdas
Many Audis

Too bad manufacturers are moving to elongated curved displays, two or single display set ups lol. Glad I am not in a rush to get a new vehicle.

I hope you have good luck with that Stelvio and your nearest AR dealer doesn't go out of business. I'm in Columbus, Ohio and we used to have two AR dealers then it was just one dealer and now it's zero dealers. They closed in May. Oh well - AR probably won't last long in the USA. They make sexy looking cars but they never got over their bad rep from the 80s and 90s before they pulled out of the USA market.

I test drove the Macan, GLC and the Volvo back then when trying to decide and ended up with a 2019 X3 M40i (which I traded for my 2023 X5MC), but the new one is just no-bueno. Cant get past the interior.

The Moonlight Grey Matte makes it turn heads even more. The tech is completely meh and the 2.0L is underpowered, but the looks and driving dynamics are amazing. Also there are the right amount of buttons and no ugly screen that looks completely out of place in the interior. And thankfully it's a true Alfa Romeo vehicle before Stellantis took over and will make everything a mashup of a bunch of different brands.
Nice looking car, the sports models actually have sport seats, imagine that lol, and it’s a great driver car.

I like this colour, at least it’s not beige.

Yup, it’s a minger.

I’m sure if BMW introduced a new colour called Shite Beige, oh wait they did lol, some would lap it up. Beige with an amber interior, seriously, no wonder BMW doesn’t let its people off the grey pallet.
