i believe ppl like me, who prefer subtle and understated style and pay attention to the detail are of minority group, most people want attention. that's why audi is doin so poorly in the US, because it lacks the "pimp effect" of both mb and bmw, hack, even lexus has some of that pimp feeling to it. so if audi wants to gain market share in the US, they need to shift their design language to a more adventurous one.
of course, this is just IMO. |
I don't think any german car besides the CLS has flamboyant design. That term has been reserved for the italians. Audi is not doing well in the us not due to the lack of pimp effect but rather the differentiation between their line-up's design. To a normal person Audi's looke very nice but if you show them pictures of the cars they will have a hard time telling the difference between them. Of course that's not the only reason but it is a major part of it.
