I think the outside is attractive, good shapes and lines and a nod to the past. The interior colors are cool but I just don't understand the lack of dash design or controls. They're literally just...

Interesting. Unless it's mild out I usually need to adjust temp, fan, or seat heat a notch or two, especially at beginning of trip and then adjusting later. Really don't want that to require 3-4...

Completely agree on all of it, interior is a major loss of premium feeling and harder to use.

I wanted to ask specifically about the climate settings. You mentioned you never have to touch them but I wonder how true this will be over time. In my car I'm always adjusting the temp, fan, or...

Nice to see physical hvac controls and 1-8 favorite buttons on a new concept but have a feeling it’s just iDrive 7 stuff that they didn’t have time to update. I’d be surprised if that made it to...

Clean and minimalistic just means spartan. Thing is, none of the functions you need in a car (climate, media, nav) are actually gone. So how are you activating them? By buttons that are now on a...

Be sure to let Audi know, and to let BMW know that that was a factor for you if you choose the M340. Only way Audi would ever change is if they receive that sort of feedback.
