Porsche did not dilute their brand with their SUV lines. If Mclaren were to launch a £200k SUV would you jump out of yours in protest? .
Porsche was always a sports car manufacturers and through marketing was able to sell this on SUVs then diesel cars.Lambo is a supercar builder through and through, can a badge engineered SUV really be called a supercar, maybe if it was bonkers, which the Urus isn't.

Nothing like as bonkers as pre-german Lambos though. Both can be driven easily, seen out of easily and carry any size of person.[/quote
I was at Lamborghini Birmingham. Fell in love with an Aventador.
6ft 5, powerfully built.
I literally couldn't get in it!
Jeez you must be very 'powerfully built'. My 6'6 20 stone downright fat bI was at Lamborghini Birmingham. Fell in love with an Aventador.

You picked up on the one part of my post that was supposed to be a joke. The whole CHR 'if you are squinting' thing.
The rest of my post wasn't a joke: It's a 2018 VW Touareg with a Porsche engine and VW/Porsche running gear.
Judging by your post, one would expect this car to drive EXACTLY like a Toureg/Cayenne cross.The rest of my post wasn't a joke: It's a 2018 VW Touareg with a Porsche engine and VW/Porsche running gear.
That must mean it shares the exact same suspension set up, exact same brakes, exact same engine calibration, the same wheels and everything else as those other cars. It must even have the exact same interior too!
I think people get confused and think platform sharing means "exact same with a different looking body"
A Rolls Royce Ghost, for example, is not just a BMW 7 series!

The punters won't care as the set up will be geared towards the 'lambo experience', and this is tried and tested with porsche SUVs.

Again getting back to my BMW/RR comment, the RR had a BMW engine, and a LOT of BMW tech in it. Doesn't detract from the finished article!

Can we imagine how the internet will reach to the four door saloon in 2019?
It'll be on the VAG 4-door saloon platform and have VAG engines and VAG switches. The interior leather and the bodywork will be Lamborghini. Definately no V12: it'll be V8, and heaven help us maybe even a V6.
Even though Lamborghini have form re a big 4 seater, don’t set them off again!! It'll be on the VAG 4-door saloon platform and have VAG engines and VAG switches. The interior leather and the bodywork will be Lamborghini. Definately no V12: it'll be V8, and heaven help us maybe even a V6.

What appealed to me about the idea of the Urus was that when you have a young family you rarely get to use a two seater sports car. A large number of journeys require seating for 4 and some luggage space. Society expects you to give up on cars and fun and buy a Ford CMax or some other bland family transport. This sort of product is a massive FU to that generic belief. It is a supercar that you can use far more often and therefor have far more fun.
Except this has issue has been addressed for years (better and an awful lot cheaper) with an RS4, or if you really need the space an RS6. Doubt anyone sensible will be putting kids in an Urus, they'd have the interior trashed in a couple of weeks. Or if you fancy something leftfield then this is only 2/3rds the price of a Urus, far more practical, 4WD, and if you had it without the stickers, and in a sensible colour, it's an awful lot cooler:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB37QIZfgEI
As you say, nobody is going to be buying a Urus and putting the kids in the back.
They will be bought by playboys, look at me types. They won’t go off road, won’t have tow cars, won’t use isofix.
It’s a Lambo! Look at me look at me.
It’ll be green, yellow orange or Matt grey.
Practicality doesn’t figure.
It’s all about what people think. Not PH people, normal people.

It'll be on the same platform as this, as almost every other longitudinal front-engined VAG car has been for some time.

Definately no V12: it'll be V8, and heaven help us maybe even a V6.

Not all young children are oiks. Plenty of children manage to do absolutely no damage and are no issue to put in nice cars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB37QIZfgEI
I’ve always fancied an Italian supercar and seeing as my mild issue with this car is that it seems a bit too German to be Italian I don’t think an Audi estate or a German van are going to tick the right boxes.

That is an awful lot cooler! A souped up van...? Seriously? You’ve said if a tall SUV hits you in your family mystery car it’ll destroy it. This van could do the same... Those same kids who do ruin interiors would ruin the interior of the van, an RS6 or anything else you feel you have to recommend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB37QIZfgEI

None of which remotely fitted the bill of being an Italian supercar, so I’m not quite sure what the relevance is here? If I wanted any of those cars I would have just bought one but I never have wanted to own one despite how good they are because they aren’t what I want to own. At no point would I ever head out of the house excited to see or at the prospect of driving them. They don’t float my boat in any way.
Maybe if I had so cross country daily commute I would consider one as a generic commuting car but in reality I suspect it would just buy an SC Rangie for that sort of work.
But, seeing as I have been discussing that this new Italian supercar feels a bit too German I am really not seeing the logic of then suggesting the purchase of a German commuter car or van as a logical progression?
Has a Lambo ever NOT been bought by look at me types, who don't love the limelight. Let them get on with it....
Would you rather Lamborghinis disappeared off our streets.
I am sure there were people that doubted the need for (and slated) a mid engined
Super car for the road when the
Miura hit the streets
