    Audi to build a luxury Off-Roader SUV (Hybrid EREV range-extender) on Scout platform

    Can't argue with you there! And not that I'm trying to lol. Its true, a bad dealer can really sour a whole brand experience, which is unfortunate - but a reality. I try to avoid dealers in general. For warranty work - sure. And in most cases my experiences have been just fine. Beyond that...

    Audi to build a luxury Off-Roader SUV (Hybrid EREV range-extender) on Scout platform

    Everyone has their own opinions/experiences/perceptions. But as a LONG time VAG fan-boi - I have zero concerns.

    Scout gift for reservation holders - Any guesses?

    When they first re-designed the Cayenne years ago, I got a piece of guardrail from their Leipzig test track as part of their marketing promo! Still have it too! The piece is magnetized to a little plaque.

    Suspension differences

    I personally don't see any benefit to having an air suspension. Therefore, I prefer a traditional shock/spring combo. Especially on a more off-road oriented vehicle. I know Land Rover does it, and has been doing it for a long time. But a vast majority of those don't ever see anything but...

    Changing A Reservation

    I was ready to make the switch personally. I too have a predictable daily commute and I was really coming around to the idea of an EV truck. Last year at reservation time, I was not planning on getting myself a new car and figured I would just wait fort the Scout and the Rivian R3X to drop so I...

    Changing A Reservation

    I've never owned full EV, so I guess you could just say I'm a little leery. And I say that only because at this point, if we end up with a Scout, it will be my wife's primary vehicle. I can't even get her to plug her phone in at night...so what in the hell is going to make her plug in her CAR at...

    Changing A Reservation

    Makes sense. I thought there was an option to change it on their website. But when I try to log in it says there is a problem retrieving account info... 🤷‍♂️

    Changing A Reservation

    For those of you who have changed a reservation, are there any downsides? Like, get bumped or anything like that? Wouldn't be the end of the world...just curious. Originally reserved a Terra for myself as a potential daily driver replacement in a couple of years when they came out. But I went...

    Latest Scout Traveler photos & videos from official event

    I too have a Bronco, well technically my wife does lol. Reserved a Terra day one thinking it could be a potential replacement for my daily driver, which at the time was a 2015 VW GTI that I did not have any intention of replacing for a few more years. Well, I ended up replacing it at the...

    Current and future Scout Reservers: Have you cancelled reservation(s) or plans for other EVs?

    Actually, no. But only because that was not even on my radar. $70k for a Hyundai though? Yikes! lol. Definitely going to look at that little though just because....

    Current and future Scout Reservers: Have you cancelled reservation(s) or plans for other EVs?

    Not canceling the Scout res but am definitely waiting to learn a little more about the Rivian R3X. It will be a strong contender for what replaces my soon to be 10 year old VW GTI. I've been thinking about making the switch to a truck as my daily driver for some time now, and more recently, an...

    What are you driving until Scout release date? Photos thread!

    Nice little collection. I had a MK2 Jetta with a 12V VR swap dang near 20 years ago now. You going to do 5 lug conversion as well? My donor car was a Passat which is where I got most of the parts.
