Audi SQ5 vs BMW X3 M/Sport vs Mercedes GLK

[Deckhook]

Audi has judged the S treatment so well with the Q5, it just gels perfectly compared to the others, thought has went into this instead of just grafting any old M/Sport or AMG nose on and hoping for the best like with the others. But it's the side profile where the SQ5 really kills the others, it's proper hunkered down on those wheels rather than showing the miles of chassis travel of the others, plus it's shape looks much more sporty. The rear of each has things to like but it's the Audi which shows it's intent and purpose with quad pipes suggesting this isn't just a body styling exercise.

Where the others have striked down it's Audi that's hit the home run.

I think the SQ5 is the better looking of the three.
I am not taken by the GLK.

That is only your opinion, not a fact.

Sorry, but you sound so childish.

But that's cause all the others ARE body styling exercises, while the SQ5 is actually a performance upgrade..

That is only your opinion, not a fact.

When somebody makes a post, especially something as subjective as looks, can we not just assume it's an opinion? Or do we have to write IMHO after every single post? That could get a little tedious.

I agree, but some are an exception.

Of course what I wrote was my opinion, if you need IMO for everything then there is something dramatically wrong with your interpretation of a post.

No Betty. My opinions rules and your opinion sucks

There are none. Design talk is always subjective. No exceptions. Not even when you designed the freaking car yourself

It's the same thing with Women/Men of interest. For example; I think Kim Kardashian looks like a bad Transvestite, yet some find her to be fantasize-worthy.

We really need to get your eyes tested because if she's a tranny then sign me up.

I don't find the X3 design particularly inspiring. Audi looks smooth but too much so IMO, and doesn't differentiate enough from other Audis. In this type of vehicle, I prefer the blocky/butch looks of the Mercedes. A cross-over by its nature should convey that it's not designed to do what a car counterpart is designed to do, so a bit of suspension travel is more desirable IMO. Certainly plays up the image of ruggedness. I didn't like it at first, but I think it's aged better than the X3.

Lol @ Deckchook.

I like M-B's being bold and blocky too (it's their rightful calling card) as they can do it and own it better than anyone. Just doesn't work with such a cutesy-putesy proportioned "rugged SUV for children" look, as I see it.
