Although it lost that battle, the Ingolstadt marque continued to innovate in the lighting department. Highly advanced matrix LEDs with an adaptive high beam are now the norm for a car carrying the Four Rings. There have been changes at the back, too. Configurable OLED taillights are also fairly common nowadays. On the recently unveiled Q5, there's an interesting new feature. No, your eyes are not deceiving you–that's an extra brake light. Aside from having the traditional third brake light mounted in the roof spoiler, the Q5 has another one displayed on the tailgate's glass. There's a projector light incorporated into the underside of the rear spoiler. The interrupted bar is wider than the regular brake light above it, making it even more visible to tailgaters and encouraging them to back off when they notice the Q5 is braking. These press images show the hot Audi SQ5 in European flavor but its American cousin will have a different setup. Instead of those multiple red slabs, the US-spec luxury crossover will project "Quattro" onto the rear glass. Audi isn't allowed to do that in Europe because regulators see it as a form of advertisement, which is illegal. As we've seen in other high-end Audi models launched recently, the 2025 Q5 has configurable light patterns both front and rear. The matrix LED headlights are offered with up to eight digital light signatures, depending on the level of equipment. At the back, an evolution of digital OLED taillight tech can be personalized as well. In addition, the rear lights can alert drivers behind them of accidents and breakdowns by displaying warning symbols. We have mixed feelings about this. Some of these light games seem gimmicky while others could be useful in certain scenarios. Either way, at least Audi isn’t putting rear turn signals dangerously low. I’m looking at you, Hyundai and Kia. The Koreans aren't doing it because of regulations saying cars sold in the US must have fixed brake lights. By the way, if that happens, there has to be a separate set of lights on bodywork that doesn't move. That was actually the case with the old Q5 since its clamshell tailgate (RIP) incorporated the main taillights. The extra set of lights was mounted in the rear bumper. A Kia spokesperson told The Drive the decision to put the lights in the bumper was driven by a styling choice: "A senior designer from the Global Design Center said that they wanted to emphasize the slim design of the rear combination lamp. The blinker is placed at the bottom of the rear bumper to offer a sense of unity with the fog lamp design of the front bumper." Lights aside, the new Audi Q5 is a handsome crossover, albeit one would argue it's too similar to the fully electric Q6 E-Tron. It now has real exhaust tips, and back to the lighting theme, it doesn't have the Q6's controversial split lights.

Anyone else interested to see the replacement Audi Q5? The sheet metal and design looks pretty good. A strong contender to upcoming X3 and the current GLC.

Another day, another road rage incident. This time round, we see a driver coming out of his Audi Q5, shouting at the top of his lungs and taunting the camera car's driver to come out of his car. As seen from SG Road Vigilante, this person (and yes, he isn't wearing a mask) can be heard clearly spewing tons and tons of vulgarities. Definitely not child friendly in our opinion! Of course, the video, which was shot a week ago on 20th of April, only shows one side of the whole incident. We have no idea what caused the man in the SAF Infantry singlet to be so worked up. On another note, we can't help but be reminded of the Grab rider bubble tea incident that happened last week...

You know what they say, "Do whatever you want, just don't get caught!" Unfortunately (or thankfully, perhaps), these teenage car thieves in the United Kingdom don't seem quite knowledgeable about such a saying. Instead, these thieves just seemed so proud of their 'stealing' ability that they even shot pictures of themselves with the cars they had successfully stolen. What amazes me more is that they even posted the pictures on Facebook, a world renowned social media, and on their phones! This led the local police to catch them red-handed, or should I say, 'bread-handed' (you'll see why). It's a real 'shame' to the world of Grand Theft Auto. Speaking of Grand Theft Auto, it reminds me of the action adventure packed car theft game, the latest trailer of which will be shown on 30th April 2013. Alright, let's get back to topic. To be honest with you, these teenagers, aged from 18-23 years old, were quite an expert indeed. Comprising eight members, they managed to successfully steal nine high performance sports cars that were, and still are, very expensive. Porsches, Range Rovers, BMWs, and a Mercedes Coupe worth

[extract] This wide and wonderful Q5 has received the ABT treatment, and we can't help but yelp about it! Sometimes you don't realise what you want until you've been given a taste of it. I hate that. Until today, I was perfectly fine with the way a stock Audi Q5 looks and performs. I

[extract] Not too long ago, Porsche announced its plans for a smaller-sized suv to accompany its Cayenne and expand its model line-up. Not much details were available at that time besides a rendered image of the car. Now, more technical news about the baby suv has been revealed. Many speculated the model name while some were certain that it would be named the Porsche Cajun, but the German automaker has given a different name all together-the Macan. Porsche explained the name to be derived from an Indonesian word meaning 'tiger' and expresses the
