Not too sure about Bugatti but I won't be surprised since they are the same group. Audi R8 basically is a "cheaper" Lambo? lol ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines are very blurred in VW. 911 is kinda unique though because the flat 6 engine is behind. Edited January 12, 2021 by Weez911 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive is good, DCT needs some getting used to. Some occasional gremlins with the electronics here and there but no major issues so far among the 180 of us in the chat group. No issue on build quality either. There are a few owners who downgraded from GLC to HS. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the luxury level is different. For example, Dakota, Vernasca, Nappa and Merino leather all command different price points. Then we have the touch points of the interior, soft touch plastic vs hard plastic vs fake leather vs full leather. And the quality of the sound system, entertainment system, instrument panel, steering wheel, electric vs manual seat adjustment, etc. I remember the door of my previous Jetta can only open at a weird angle, and my service rep told me Audi door can open at more natural angle and wider. I guess it is all engineered that way purposely. Edited January 12, 2021 by Weez911 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel this is not a money-making venture for Vertex (at least not for now) so its more for longer term marketing to build up the branding. Does it mean that more people in this thread will buy Vertex? In fact not just SGPrean are brand conscious , many of my colleagues in other countries like Malaysia, Australia, Indo are also brand whores because they drive Merce and BM. In Australia they can even afford AMG and M more easily because their vehicle tax are lower. Just that in those country the branding may not be so obvious because every car owning household has more than one car, other than a luxury car, they also have one or two other B&B cars at home. Moreover, many of the lower income folks there also own cars, but they can only afford cheap cars, as a result, it becomes more difficult for the luxury brands to dominate the market. In SGP, cars are so expensive, if there is only one car a person could buy, he will prioritize by branding for sure. There is nothing wrong with buying brands. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, the interior for the new Hyundai avante has improved leaps n bound.. just need to catch up on the display dash board pieces and it would be very Audi like 👍🏾 ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
