    Lamborghini Estoque Concept: I'm Not Dead Yet!

    With the Lamborghini Urus making its debut at this week's Beijing Motor Show, a question has popped upped about another one of Lamborghini's concepts; what ever happened to the Estoque concept?

    The Estoque sedan concept was shown at the 2008 Paris Motor Show as a way to preview a new model line for the brand. Since then, nothing much has happened.

    Autoweek had the chance to sit down with CEO Stefan Winkelmann and asked him about the Estoque.

    "It [the Estoque] was placed on hold because of a number of reasons, including the lack of a suitable platform. We haven't given up on the idea of a sedan entirely, but we see more potential in a sport-utility vehicle encapsulating typical Lamborghini attributes."

    It is very clear that they do love the idea of a 4 door performance sedan, but with the world wide economy in the dumpster, they see faster profits in the SUV. I suspect we will see the name plate expand ove the next few years.

    Just use a Porsche one. Seems to work when you want to make an SUV.

    GROSS, Can you imagen cross breeding a sexy Lambo with that butt ugly Panamera? :puke:

    yes, but you can still tell it's a Cayenne, which is, in turn, actually a Volkswagen.

    the Panamera, however is not.

    oh yes, and:

    "I think I might be getting better!"

    "I think I'll go for a walk..."

    Good for you, getting better and walking is an awesome way back to sound health! :)

    huh? I'm as fit as I'll ever be, and I do walk quite a bit nowadays. I'm pretty healthy; not Bob Harper healthy, mind you, but i'm not fat, sick or diabetic.

    I was making a silly Monty Python reference with that last bit of my post. it was a running gag in one of their movies where somebody was thought to be dying: "He's not dead yet!...I think he's getting better...Actually I think he might pull through...oh, no, no, he's died."

    I always appreciate the good vibes though. :cheers:

    Got ya, now I understand. Never watched the Monty Python shows, so was not aware that was from that. So many people seem to have had health issues in the last year, I thought you had gotten sick or something.

    Thank you for the explanation, Have a great week. :D

    • Yes Genesis is not as high as they were in 2017 for the G90, but they have been slowly climbing the last 3 years, so we will see how it goes. I think breaking it out as a stand alone luxury division is a smart move. https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/genesis/g90 Yet if you look at U.S. total sales of all models, Genesis has continued to increase in sales each year. Genesis | US Market Brands | CarFigures It is not a sprint, but a marathon of luxury quality autos.
    • Here's the problem, the G90 doesn't sell, and coupes and convertibles don't sell, combing both would be a disaster.   If they did a mid-size car maybe they would have a chance, but maybe they feel like the 4-series and CLE already kind of took that space away. And Cadillac for sure needs to do a coupe version of whatever replaces the CT5.  I think if you took a Lyriq drivetrain and throw a coupe body on that for $70-80k range they have a winner.
    • Seems Hyundai / Genesis is making sure prices stay stable to keep sales going: Hyundai Launches Customer Assurance to Maintain Current Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price - Hyundai Newsroom Hyundai will not raise MSRP for its current model lineup for the next two months, starting today until June 2, 2025 GENESIS CARES INITIATIVE TO MAINTAIN MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS - Genesis Newsroom This initiative ensures that customers who purchase or lease any new Genesis vehicle between today and June 2, 2025, will see no increase in the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)[i] during the protection window. Regardless of market conditions, customers will have peace of mind knowing that MSRP will not increase, providing financial reassurance and the time to make the right choice for their transportation needs.
    • Just not good enough at being a motor vehicle period...just hideous, shoddily built chod.. 
    • The M8 coupe looks so much like a Mustang in profile...  I like the previous M6 Gran Coupe from about 10 years ago..   It's too bad Cadillac doesn't have a coupe and 4 seat convertible...something small based off the CT4 and/or a midsize CT5 based one would be great.    I wish GM had built a production version of the gorgeous El Miraj concept.
