It's essentially an Audi Head Office marketing "suit" spinning the "Vorsprung" philosophy by suggesting that a combined "Gas and Gasoline" car is helping them achieve carbon neutrality.

And the name of this - G-tron. E-tron is dead, long live G-tron? .

Still no excuse for fake tips, unless it's a 2.0tfsi dressed up for press photos.
Quite, it's a petrol V6T, why put that horrid bend in the actual exhaust and dress the car with the obviously blank, fake tips?

Audi's Macan I suppose......

I have noticed during my current sojourn in Perth (Australia) that Avants are not common at all. They go for the sedan - I saw two RS 5's today - but it's mainly (if not almost exclusively) the SUV which is "king" over here in all its different makes, models and forms. So it's aimed at a different market which really likes this format.

I was going to ask if anyone remembers the Ford Sierra Ute? And what would you know, I saw one on the road today, first time in about 20 years!
