So how many do you think will actually go off-road or do anything that's outdoorsy? inb4 c-lai washes bumper with gasoline. |
i'm not their target audience but agreed it would be nice to focus more on the off-road capabilities as a truck than a X6/Model X competitor. something to wedge against the G-Wagen, LX, Range Rover |
The Chinas love the G-Wagon for some odd reason.. |
upcoming audi q8 looks quite similar http://images.car.bauercdn.com/pagef...di_rsq8_91.jpg |

obviously no one commenting on the Urus is a potential customer. Remember the comments about the Cayenne when it was launched? Now people applaud Porsche for doing it because it generated so much cash they could afford more R&D dollars for the 911. Hence a more up date 911. I bet the Lamborghini will sell everyone they make and every rich guy/gal from China will want one. This will be the new status symbol of every rich mainlander. It is a matter of time before Ferrari and Aston enter into the game. The potential massive profits far outweigh the hit to brand erosion. Let's face it, the sedan is dead, and the crossover will be the new norm. |
I had deposit on the Urus when I had my 580 but cancelled it and got allocation for the Performante. Initially pricing was hovering around $250k CDN all in with options, now from what I was told you're looking at around $280k CDN with options. Flippers might make money in the short term because production for the first year will be half and all allocation looks be to going but in 2019 they'll ramp it up to 3500 Urus' per year and also introduce a hybrid plug in. To put that in prospective, Lambo has capped all cars at 3500 which includes all the Aventador and Huracan models so they'll be a lot of Urus' been produced which isn't going to be good for resale. Styling wise I like it but I don't love it. Have to see the demo when it arrives in Feb. |

I’ll admit, That was kind of funny, but really, what does it matter anyway? You might be able to afford a 2020 Uras in year 2035, if you can find a high mileage one, with Icbc claims, driven a clai who smoked, plus your condo has to keep going up in value. :D Needless to say, I don’t think that neither the Italians nor the Germans care what you and I think. |

I mean, it should be able to handle a good amount of off-roading, but the idea is that it's a superb (if not the best) grand tourer. It could offer an incredible driving experience (as in speed) as one would expect from Lambo, yet offering the adaptability of an SUV to different terrains. It's stuck in a very awkward position IMO... it's not as fast as a sports car, not as flexible as a true SUV (think Range Rover or even G-class) and yet not as luxury as Bentayga and whatever RR is about to bring. If it brought as an even better Range Rover to the market (luxury and craftsmanship of Italian automaker with Lambo's V12), I think it could successfully target a very specific niche and differentiate itself from everyone else quite well. |

I drove that 991 and i honestly didnt like it at all. The steering is lifeless and the chasis was too buttoned down. It drives more like a GT car now then the older Porsches. |

I agree looks wise the 991 looks nice...er for a Porsche. But it's just a 911 evolution and not really drop dead gorgeous in the way an Aston or Italian exotic looks. |

Being serious, considering that a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk (which to me is an equally stupid vehicle, but whatever) is $115k CAD then this seems fairly reasonable. Sure the Lambo is roughly double the price, but how often is a Lambo only double the cost of a Chrysler product? I know they don't give a rats ass what we think, as their target market is rich idiots who just want to look good at 10km/h stuck in traffic downtown. They could de-tune the entire Lambo lineup from the last 15 years to the level of a Prius and 90% of their buyers wouldn't notice the difference. I may sound like Clarkson a bit here, but I stopped being interested in Lambo's when they stopped making bedroom wall posters and started making boring shit to sell to as many twats as possible, and this is just the icing on the cake. |

It's all fun and games until a rock chips your 17.3" rotor and you have refinance your house to buy a replacement rotor. |
I'm guessing 'Urus' was the name of a bull? They should've just called it the Ferdinand, to honour the type of people who will buy it. https://giant.gfycat.com/MerryQuickKoodoo.gif |
