The new #AudiA5 is the replacement of both the A5 (F5) and A4 (B9). Audi will reserve the A4 nameplate for an upcoming electric midsize sedan to compete against the Tesla Model 3. Although I like it, I was expecting something more aggressive. Do you like it? #carindustryanalysis

The Volkswagen Taos is the German brand’s C-SUV for the Americas. Instead of the Tiguan, Volkswagen makes use of this model, which is a revamped version of the Volkswagen Tharu, available in China. What do you think of the changes?
