Hot! Audi: What's Next?

V6 would be disappointing.

Yes

Wish they would keep making the 5 Cyls for the US market. Europe really is ruining it for the rest of us when it comes to cars.

Also can we stop with the super derivative AI renders that are being posted to like every thread?

I fully agree with you. Now you can see that they spent the whole budget on EVs, which in the US nobody’s going to buy.

They drive with full speed against the wall.

What you hear is different from what you see. All of the spy videos of the RS 6 clearly have a V6 exhaust note. So I'll believe it when I see it

Well, i guess will see that next year.

Unless they plan on releasing a V8 that sounds exactly like a V6, not happening buddy.

In Europe they built a sq5 tdi with a Loudspeaker in the exhaust.

Should you be referring to mine...

Yes, it's a new thing for me-so maybe I got a bit carried away. No worries, I'll get bored with it soon enough and eventually throw my new toy out of the pram.

Oh, and incidentally...one can always choose to simply ignore them. It takes a fraction of a second to shift the eyes down to the next comment. It doesn't hurt at all.

Good suggestion. The point of the “What’s new… “ threads is to post on new industry developments for that brand.
Nothing prevents one from creating a new thread for brand-specific AI renders.

Not a bad suggestion at all, actually.

As for me, I hadn't realized that an aversion towards AI generated images is shared by more than a few. I'll simply stop posting these on these boards. No hard feelings whatsoever.

It just gets a little tiresome seeing them everywhere, social media and now here. They all are just varied versions of cars that already exist for the most part.

Not averse to AI as a whole, @Uygar posted some sketches he did that were turned into renders with AI, now that was pretty neat to see.

Looks like Audi is revealing something tomorrow, and he said it isn't electric.

GCF should ban all AI generated content, it's ruining the internet, please don't let it ruin this site!!.

It has been suggested that this issue can be resolved by establishing a forum category exclusively for CGI/AI automotive images. That seems FAR more rational IMHO than levying a ban.

As for my more recent plethora of text prompted AI images...I'm OUT as far as this website is concerned. Dedicated forum category or not. Which would probably be DoA here anyway. AI images are clearly not popular here. I can understand and respect that.

As a person that was involved previously with CAD/CAM and product design, I do find the AI tools for designing a car and other applications quite interesting. I have tried Midjourney for various image generations, such as different cars and also some fun pics of family and friends and found it fascinating. Of course, the AI generation is not perfect and, in my opinion, doesn't replace the designs that are human generated by hand or computer applications. There are more originality and imagination with human creations.

I agree.
However, execs love cost cutting in the form of reducing headcount. So...

A legitimate point. And AI is a vehicle that can enable this, like it or not.
