But, going by default, I guess the MINI is the best looking of ALL of them...so, I'd go with that. If Acura made an IDX or something, I'd pick that by default because I just need to upgrade the tires and then be able to beat a Koenigsegg.
I'm a bit behind on that segment. And the appearances of the small CUVs may be dated to previous gens as well. I'll have to Google it when I'm motivated. The good news is, I'm out of that segment soon and don't care anymore.

you want me to pretend to be SSFTSX and starting posting pictures for u? BTW: Acura already has something and it s out in Asia for a while now... it is just a matter of time before they release it in the US. Acura CDX - of course with HR-V's sorry ass engine.
Don't hate, mang. You put some high-end Dunlops or whatever, and it'll be like strapping the F-14's engine into it.
This Q3 is still based upon a ten-year old Tiguan platform IIRC, which is why it has the shitty 2.0T and not the newer one. Europe has the new Q3 and it’s a much better vehicle.
Audi should be ashamed and no one should buy the American Q3 until they replace it.

If my Golf TDI had driven like the current Q3 I might not have been interested in the A4 I bought. Would have never leased the Golf for that matter.

I don’t mind the look of that new Q3. I might be horrendously wrong, but I think it would really good if the grey grill outline could be modded to be black. Whether it is wrapped, or painted, or whatever.
Quick, someone photoshop that pic!!

I thought the new body style Q3 has yet to launch in Europe? The EU market gets the 2.0T from the GTI, the US market gets the POS from before. I thought the body was the same though...
Also, that picture is particularly fugly and I think is the concept car... I believe this is the production model:

Well it's a small Audi designed solely for people who want the badge, what do you expect?
Performance will be a strong after thought for it. If it's anywhere as nice inside as the new ES, yeah, it'll definitely sell well for the price.
Didn't know exactly where to post this, so decided to do so here.

The Mid-2000s Were a Golden Age for Acura
Majofo, you right all along.
I was watching Jay Lenos' Garage on CNBC the other day on TV (not the youtube show) and they had a little car trivia game show at the last 5min. Matt Farah was teamed up with this other dude, who clearly didn't know as much as Matt in terms of knowledge (which was kinda impressive tbh), and while they got all the answers right, Matt pretty much made real douchey jokes about how bad his teammate's auto knowledge was.
/endrandomthough
ps - btw, jay leno is cool cat, his shows are underrated imo
Super random thought.

Super down to earth
My godfather used to meet with Jay and a bunch of other hot rod guys on the weekend. Jay would bring cool hot rods every weekend. I never got to go, but the meetup and cruise was very low key. I don't think they do them anymore.
His youtube show is great too, very very underrated. He'll ask some very tough questions to the owner/rep of the car about a specific design element or history, or he gives great stories/history/context to a car that you'd not known before.
