    Bentley Bentayga in Plano (north of Dallas). White with Montana plates. You don’t see many Bentleys in this area.

    The redundant little screen low at center bugs me somehow.

    Not surprised by the Montana plates. Probably registered to an LLC set up for just that purpose.

    The right half is merely for the entertainment and amusement of a passenger on that side. I believe I heard it can be turned off if desired. Just more evidence that auto designers are struggling to figure out what to do with screen tech and design. Hopefully there are no touch controls that the driver may need to access over on that side. Why a driver should ever need to access touch controls on a screen is a mystery in itself.

    Got behind a Cayenne coupe today, something seldom seen in these parts. Soon after saw a Q5 coupe, maybe not new but also rare here, CUV coupes are not my most favorite design.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 265,531
    I think Audi does a decent job with it. The Q8 is basically a Q7 Sportback. The Q5 is okay.

    BMW and Mercedes, though.. :/

    Q8 is ok to me, but the Q5 has too much MB "coupe" energy, which is adjacent to the X4/X6 (not meant as a compliment).

    It's funny how MB and BMW go back and forth. MB has a 4 door "coupe", BMW gets one, BMW makes "coupe" CUV/SUVs, MB follows suit, MB gets sporty while BMW leans into luxury.

    Saw an Escalade IQ, didn't expect that here, pricey thing.

    Saw a Tacoma Trailerhunter yesterday.
    It's pretty big. Rhought it was a Raptor until is got close.
    I was in the Explorer, so the driver knew enough to stay behind me leaving at the traffic lights.

    Newish Ferrari convertible. Front engine. Red over tan. Top down.

    Don’t see many of those pulling into the local strip center.

    For a relatively small city there are a remarkable number of flex-mobiles here. Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, and all sorts of G-Class Benzes of course. I guess the tech bros and the high finance types living here do pretty well for themselves. The G-Class is the only one I would want to drive on our potholed roads.

    Saw a matte black G53 today. Hard to tell what year it was since all look similar.

    Also a royal blue C8 Vette. I don’t recall seeing that color on a C8 before. It looked darned good.

    Saw a red C8 yesterday, off the side of the road in the grass, (rear) hood up...uh oh...

    A woman talking on her phone in her black Maybach SUV was tailgating me on I-485 at 75+mph yesterday morning. I thought if I had to tap the brakes it would be a sad time. When she finally passed me, wow that thing has some wide tires. It is quite the beast.

    We have a local restaurateur that has that Maybach. It's crazy

    Starting to see a couple new Muranos around. Man, that thing leaves me cold.

    Saw a new Rolls(temp plates). Black with a kind of bright blue interior.
    It seemed a long as a Suburban.
    Edit: Forgot, a new Bronco Raptor parked almost close enought for me to touch it while I was sitting at an ice cream stand.

    Driving to/from the BMW dealer in Hyannis yesterday, I spotted 3 Lucid Airs! As well as a couple of Lambos, and a Ferrari Lusso and an Alfa 4C... on a flatbed.

    '21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)

    That’s the Alfa’s natural habitat.🙂

    I saw one of the Alfa CUVs the other day, moving under its own power.

    I like those. In theory

    I think I saw a new style Armada - big brick. Also some kind of late model Ferrari, but they all look the same to me anymore and are seldom-seen here.
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,336
    classic Ferraris were so good looking. Timeless and elegant. The new ones, are not.

    At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon (although I don't deny it) beauty has taken a back seat in most cars.

    Saw my first Macan EV. $90k-$110k, looked like this:

    We saw one when we were in Atlanta, in May. Most of them are colorful.

    The EV we saw in Atlanta was a really nice green.

    Of course, the gas models are all black, gray and white, mostly

    For $13k you can get all kinds of neat colors on the Macan. 'Regular' colors (besides black and white) are a couple of grand.

    Ah, we never shopped the EV. Didn't know the paint was that high. (though it was $2900 on the unit we bought)

    I am in the same boat. I can ID most of them until maybe the late 'oughts, then it all becomes a jumble as for the most part I just stopped caring. To be fair, I can say the same for Lamborghini and McLaren etc.
