SPIED on the STREET! While The Others Are Nappin', The Agents Are Snappin'
If you've been following AutoSpies this week, you'd already know that the head cheese was out in Austin driving the 2019 Hyundai Veloster. Upon his return to SoCal late last night, Agent 001 was heading home when something interesting happened.

He struck gold.

Spy Shots Spring 2018

While driving along his merry way, he rolled up on something very interesting. And if you've been keeping abreast of our latest collection of spy shots, you may recognize it. That's because it's the all-new Audi Q8.

001 tells me that several things stuck out to him. Chiefly, it's about the size of a current-gen BMW X5. Secondly, it seems that the all-new Q8 may be benefiting from all-new lighting technology both on the exterior and interior.

As you can see, the exterior lighting — especially the lighting strip on the rear end — is far more bright than we've seen before. And on the interior, you'll note the ambient lighting is also very precise and brighter than before. So much so it even shines through the rear window, which has been wrapped with the swirly number. Could Audi be using OLED technology all over the all-new Q8?

All that said, check out 001's snaps below and let us know what you think.

Looks more like concept from Frankfurt.

Looks like a total bore like other Audis.

5-door coupe-styled SUV's has to be the dumbest car industry trend in decades. Sadly it seems to have taken on a life of its own.

I have always thought Audi has done one of the best jobs with lighting, both front and back. They were one of the first to incorporate modern LEDs, so it would not be surprising if they were one of the first to adopt OLEDs. However, at least on the outside I don't think these are OLEDs. An OLED would be more consistently lit (unless this is really poorly executed). You can also see individual LEDs if you look closely at the top brakelight. The interior screens look light they might be OLED.

Just one more over-engineered, overpriced, unreliable crapbox from Germany LLC. And it will more than likely leak oil too.

But at least it's truth in engineering...oh wait...nevermind.
