Don't know about the brown shoes, but that jacket is standard European type of business wear. In the US, in a crowd of 1000s, I can spot them instantly.

The response here is as predicted and will be proven irrelevant. I did read a review about it, the magazine seemed quite impressed, I don't remember the details, except that it was concept car at that point, many parts were temporary glue and stick on, and it was on US ground. My only guess is that a company like Audi generally always will not sell a car until when it is ready to withstand the toughest condition, tested 1,000s of times in rough locations around the globe. No doubt, it will be a good seller.

Another good thing about it is that these 3 German makers are spreading the SUVs to Europe. Despite the SUV's popularity here in the States, they have been extremely rare on the Continent, until MB M class and X5 showed up, yet choices have been very limited. With the new Porsche, VW, Audi, Volvo and X3, there is no stopping of the SUV wildfire.

We had a guest at our party couple weeks ago, she had an 1 day new FX45. I was very impressed, the interior was clean and hi-tech, the exterior was handsome and unique. Smaller than a SUV but taller and bigger than a car, I guess sort of like Pacifica, which I have yet to see one.
