@@caustic279 Any real statistics you can provide to back your claims? Also, your attempt at foreseeing my future decisions is just childish. And i'm perfectly aware of my irrelevance to the manufacturers' decision making but i'm still in every right to express my opinion on a free space such as youtube. A side note: the only video in your profile is an experminent with some lens effects portraying a very young man. That leads me to believe you have reasons to be childish and you are even more irrelevant than me since you probably are not even allowed to legally purchase and drive a vehicle.

@Amine WOOF Fair enough if thats your opinion. From what ive seen, people do tend to like this more than the x6 and gle. I think the front looks aggressive and mean, and the rear three quarter angle when Matt is demonstrating the boot, is stunning. What is it you dislike about it?

[@NuhanHidayat]

I might be biased but this "coupé" SUV looks quite handsome (compared to X6), the roofline & its height it's just in the right proportion 👌🏼i so like the interior it's slick & modern, but still imma stick with my statement that in general "Coupé" SUVs are stupid.

[@NuhanHidayat]

@Cave Edico there's a few main reasons, 1st the proportion it's so awkward (look at the bmw x4, x6, or tesla model x), 2nd you don't get the practicality of a suv because of the roofline cuts the rear seats & boot space, 3rd people who bought coupe wanted a low driving position which again you don't get that in those vehicle because it's suv

[@tigerkitty7371]

@@NuhanHidayat do u speak for every coupe person? guess not i had the s class coupe but didnt like the low seating position for a short while in between i had the gle coupe 400 which is a beauty inside and out and now im waiting for the rsq8 because suv coupes r the most beautiful cars imo

[@NuhanHidayat]

@@tigerkitty7371 First of all nobody can make an opinion that'll suit every single person and you have absolute right as a human being to have different opinion, and let me digest your statement lil bit deeper, so you had S class coupé but you didn't like the driving position?

Lucky enough to have been able to buy one of these. Went shopping for a Q7 but a Q8 was in the showroom next to it. It was like seeing a pretty woman at a party and thinking ‘you have to come home with me tonight’. Unlike previous situations when this thought has crossed my mind, this one did.

Frameless doors. I had these on one of my cars and I wasn't a fan. When the doors are closed (most of the time) you can't even tell they're there and when its frosty or icy, they can stick. This is really unnerving when you want to open the door in winter and they can't slide up/down that little bit that they're supposed to so that they can fit the seals. If anything they are now something that I would avoid on a car. Great review though, keep them coming!

[@IIIxwaveIII]

fake exhaust? why? i dont get it. does this save money? saves space? whats the deal with all the fake exhausts?

[@seylannaidoo8929]

Yes, it does save money, but it's more complicated than that. By using fake exhausts, manufacturers can, for example, use different rear bumper designs without needing to change the design of the exhaust system. For example, the S-line and non S-line versions of the Q8 will have different bumper designs but use the same exhaust layout. Also, many cars that have minor rear-end collisions will just need to replace the rear bumpers and not the entire exhaust system (dependant on the damage of course). There are also other factors related to thermodynamics/physics, but I don't know too much on that but I am sure you can research it if you are really interested. In the end, it is cost saving and really doesn't make much of a difference, to be honest. You might think the fake exhausts look ugly, but a potential buyer might not care at all about the fake exhausts. It is just aesthetics, and there are significantly more important factors to consider when buying a car than how the exhaust system looks. If they can save money whilst not negatively impacting sales, then why not do it?

[@stevensteven3417]

Yes its a money issue, they cut costs so they can make more profit.

Everyone who drives an auto knows that you dont floor it immediately when you see a gap, just press the pedal down in a linear way and the car will respond just fine and quick enough to get in the gap.
