To me this is less of a shocker as Lambo have a solid history of doing crazy things.
A Rolls Royce SUV however. That will be the end of the world for real.
Weren’t the first Rolls Royce cars luxurious go anywhere type cars (I think I read something along those lines a while back) - which would kinda fit for an SUV A Rolls Royce SUV however. That will be the end of the world for real.
I simply don't buy into "lamborghini need to make this so they can keep selling supercars".
A quick Google shows that even in 2009 at the start of the recession sales were down, but still making profit. Another article stated 2016 was a record breaking year for sales and turnover, with profit growing for the 6th year in a row.
I simply think this is VAG trying to eek out as much money from each platform and each brand it owns. With no real thought about the provenance of each brand. Which, I suppose, is exactly what a company like VAG is supposed to do. Lamborghini, to me though, was always about being the more dramatic alternative to Ferrari and it worked for a long time.
When I see a Porsche Cayenne I see an Audi. The same will happen when I see this. It is not a lamborghini to me.

In the vast majority, businesses exist to make profit for the shareholders. VAG are in the business of making money and they're entitled to use their assets and create a narrative around it however they want.
I find VAG product dull and it's depressing they've infected so many once great marques. I also apprecoate I'm in the minority, looking at how many units they shift.

How dare VAG try and make as much money as possible. All those cayenne buying mugs, eh. A quick Google shows that even in 2009 at the start of the recession sales were down, but still making profit.

Disagree. Worse than the Rodius:
Both are significantly better pieces of design than a Urus. I don't think I've seen anything so wrong looking as the headline photo.
Nope even that thing hideous as it is, is nowhere near as bad as the Ssanyong Rodius. It is the single most disgusting piece of automotive turd I’ve ever seen - even that Japanese fish-looking thing isn’t as bad (and that’s god awful)Both are significantly better pieces of design than a Urus. I don't think I've seen anything so wrong looking as the headline photo.
