I’m probably going to get one…. But bracing for £100k and awful apr. In a world where Toyota are asking £80k for the new Land Cruiser.

Looks like it going to clash with Apples new iPad reveal

Poor planning by VW and Apple

Was thinking same. Sorry VW

Perhaps that was the new iPad in the recent VW tease of the concept control panel

Given VW Groups penchant of implimenting 5+ year old tech in their new vehicles, highly unlikely.

I remember my 2014 Audi S4 used 2G cellular network ![:talktothehand](/data/customsmile/facepalm.png "Facepalm    :talktothehand")

Now if only Apple can put that display tech in the Macbook Air I will be set.

Hope this is better than the Apple one. Crikey

Probably not, but the Apple ones (haven't watched today) creep me out.

I like how they describe it as a car. At least being honest

Sports utility vehicle apparently

I also liked how the CEO said he has a T6. He’s obviously got the inside track on the leaky bellows of the 6.1!

So there will be a California universe…. I hope that includes more than just the Caddy ![:)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Smile    :)")

Oh no its got the dreaded 04S bellows

‘Got bigger with more space’. Aka longer with less storage.

Feel the 6.1 going up in value as I type

---

###  — 2024-05-07T17:40:54+0200 (May 7, 2024)

Its official. VW have lost the plot.

---

### M — 2024-05-07T17:43:10+0200 (May 7, 2024)

Have they actually shown us anything?

---

###  — 2024-05-07T17:43:50+0200 (May 7, 2024)

Underwhelmed for sure.

---

### U — 2024-05-07T17:44:15+0200 (May 7, 2024)

No fancy kitchen then. No large ipad screen. No bellows that open wider. Hmmmm

---

###  — 2024-05-07T17:44:24+0200 (May 7, 2024)

Well I think that’s great 4x4 PHEV Ocean - awesome

I like it. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh to get the measure of that new interior. I do suspect the price will be prohibitive though.
