It may seem like an unlikely
combination but cars actually speak about our sense of style. The new Audi Q5 is no exception. Not only does
a car reflect what you feel about yourself, it is also a visual clue for others
to tell what kind of person you are. For example if you choose red colors then
a fiery and bold fashion sense may not be off the cards.
Looking at the Clues of Advertising
Remember that there is a method to the
madness when car manufacturers choose beautiful women to advertise their
products. It is not just about sex appeal but also the ability to project a
certain type of sophistication and refinement which clothes (or fashion in
general) can achieve. Thus the person with the new sleek coupe is likely to be
wearing an equally sharp suit from Armani.
Visual and Subliminal Signals
It is sometimes intriguing to consider what
people would do if they had unlimited budgets. Would they choose their cars and
attire to suit their mood at any given moment in time? So far the billionaires
have shown us that they accessorize their toys with incredible fashion pieces. An
oligarch in haute couture is also like to be driving a super car.
The Unique Case of a Crossover Car
The Audi
Q5 has special significance in this season because it seems to be the
crossover vehicle of choice. Its bold design reflects the new conceptualization
of fashion as being eclectic and individualized. We are no longer bound by the
old rules of conformity but must bake a bold statement.
An Interior to Die For
Can you imagine wearing snickers and a drab
oversized college shirt to sit in the plush surroundings of the Audi Q5 interior? I thought not…this is
the perfect illustration of why there is a marriage between fashion and vehicle
design. On the other hand your chic evening dress will be perfectly in tune
with the butter-smooth aerodynamics of this car.
What about the Performance?
Of course the car aficionados will want to
know what is in the engine and how fast it goes. It is however arguable that
all that is part of the mixture of fashion and vehicle specifications. These
are the motor-heads who want to create their niche of cars; a trend that is
reflected in their rebellious use of leather and denim.
One for the
Pedantic Obsessives
Ultimately this is a $40,900 car that
is able to do 24 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. It can
generate anywhere between 220 and 272 horsepower. There are versions for 2014
and 2015 depending on your tastes but the principles remain the same.
Final Fashion Statement
If you buy this vehicle then you are
in all probability very practical in your fashion choices. At the same time you
have an eye out for quality. You will be interested in the source materials and
their durability. One can use the same argument for selecting a car or a
fashion piece. The gap may not be as wide as we once thought.
