The R&D spokesperson is great! Not too serious, likes to joke and entertain. Great video.

[Workmusic]

Damn, this Audi R&D dude needs his own show, he's amazing.

[MyBadG-px]

The audi guy was super cool, we need more car brand engineers that listen to consumers

[CJZZ]

this format is great and having the R&D/spokesman working with Rory to talk about the prototype is great

[umutcakmak]

Thanks for talking about capacitive buttons, i hate those buttons.

[Bluerig-qfxc]

Great to see Audi taking feedback from reviewers. Wish more companies did this

[Uchejnr]

The all important Rory approval. Always appreciate manufacturers actually listening on feedback. Etron is a great looking car

[jonathanboyle]

Who knew Christoph Waltz worked for Audi?!

[LSGnCo]

R&D dude should have his own channel!

[derrickkekeli]

The Audi guy has a great sense of humour. Great content Rory. Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭

[shamsaddinamanov]

This Audi guy is a legend. He is so relax, fun, did laugh at the "washing machine" joke for the stupid sound :D

Ever since I found Auto Traders YT channel, I’ve been so impressed with the production value. I feel like I’m watching the old school Top Gear format when cars are being reviewed. Rory is such a great presenter/reviewer and loving the overall channel (my fav YT auto channel by far now).

[DPCcars]

Absolutely loving the energy in this video! 😄 The R&D spokesperson really brings it to life with that mix of humor and insight. It’s great to see Rory teaming up to showcase the Etron prototype—definitely adds credibility and excitement!

[shakeelahamed]

One of the best car review formats I've seen - keep up the awesome work and please have more of these in future; it was really fun to watch!

[ryadderdar]

again, this is the best looking electric car to date, and powerful too

[BM-iidw]

Designer clearly is a Need for Speed underground fan..

[ElyciusM]

I love that Audi is doing these with Rory. Feels like we're in good hands. Good on them for getting outside opinions.

[theKlassiqueOne]

Awesome as always Rory, but let’s give a big round of applause to Christian - he needs his own Audi channel.

[FaVe]

As a german i feel the english of the audi guy

[yebzy]

The RS E-Tron GT was already one of my favorite cars, the main issue was range

Assuming this gets the same level of improvement the taycan gets in the range department this might be a serious consideration

To lease, cause the depreciation on luxury EVs is insane
