I have a 2017 Audi Etron PHEV. For our single car household it's nearly the perfect car. Given how refined it seems I'm surprised that Audi/VW took so long to bring a PHEV to market.

The dealer told me that they are pushing EVs now to help remake the company's image after the diesel cheating debacle.

The unions probably see this repositioning and reasonably want to secure their members foothold in it.

w/ dieselgate in Canada, I get a sales tax break if I buy VW or Audi when I do the buy back or trade in for my TDI.

I briefly considered the e-tron but the battery is too small. And doesn't drive as nice as a Chevy Volt.

The interior and exterior styling are amazing though.
