The only thing faster than the speed on this car is its depreciation, you can get a fully Spec'd RS with around 16k miles for around 80k USD now. I will say the forged carbon is more of the if you know you know type but to the general public it does does give off a "bird poop" or dirty appearance. The lower rear vertical brake light also gives off a pretty significant aftermarket look at least to me. But, i'm happy that they at least tried to differentiate the RS and non-RS models. The previous generation they looked identical except some RS badges.

Would a higher ratio of etron owner have an apple phone? A 4 door that's really a 2 door but too big to be a 2 door that had another pair of doors bolted onto it. Mercedes CLS or VW Passat CC??? It's a Compact Coupe CC design. The VW Arteon platform would have been a better platform.

The reason why a car like a V12 bentley is a luxury sports car is because it has more complicated technology and an unbelievable engine which has taken years to develop on the way it sounds, acts, changes gear etc... but with an all electric battery car is that they're all the same, after a couple of launches in the BMW i4, i felt nothing for the car or experience after

All EV cars will be at a discounted rate soon enough or they'll be stuck with them. The infrastructure still isn't there either North of Watford Gap. Nobody wants them or can afford them at these prices, even for the basic S model. If I was going to choose an EV like this the Taycan is the better option.
