    Thank you for all of your comments and feedback about Sarah. We really appreciate it. This is is very helpful. And thanks for the heads-up on the VW vs Audi platform. That was a stupid mistake on our part that we'll never make again ;-)

    Hey guys they are not built on the same platform the audi is built on Audi’s MLB platform and the atlas is built on the MQB platform so they are very different. Sorry I had to criticize but she is a great addition to Tfl cars

  • @diegohiguera1035
    @diegohiguera1035 6 лет назад +30

    Hey guys, there is a mistake. They don't share the same platform, Audi Q7 is based on MLB platform, used in vehicles like Audi A4 or even Porsche Cayenne. By the other side, VW Atlas is based on MQB platform which is used in vehicles like VW Golf, Tiguan or Audi A3.

  • @t6553gw

      Yeah was going to ask how they share the same platform when one has a longitudinal engine and the other transverse.

    • @d500net
      @d500net 6 лет назад

      Cayenne/q7/bentayga/new touareg have nothing to do with MQB platform. They are not different generations of the same platform.

    • @mtlsi
      @mtlsi 6 лет назад

      Yes, they are all MLBEvo platform. But is also Atlas MLBEvo or is it built on MQB platform?

    Sarah,she can fit in the third row seat,which would make her the only team member that can pull that off.I could tell she was a little uncomfortable working with Roman,so she must be normal.Good luck Sarah.Of course i liked Charlotte too.

  • @tuolumne9
    @tuolumne9 6 лет назад +10

    WTF Roman? The Audi Q7 is on the MLB 2 platform, shared with the next Cayenne, Lamborghini Uris, VE Touareg, and the current Bentley Bentayga.
    It is a TOTALLY different platform than the MQB that underpins the Atlas/Teramont/Škoda Kodiaq, the least of which is that it’s not a transverse [engine] matrix!
    Love you guys but this distinction changes the entire premise of the review!
    And yah, usually lie flat international long haul business-class *is* in fact the distinction between arriving somewhere well rested and therefore productive, vs. someone stressing in agonizing jet lag for 48 hours.

  • @aprimalheart

    You did great Sarah! You really knew the quick facts that the listeners and audience will greatly appreciate!

    This is one of those VERY rare moments when I get off my Xbox to post a needed comment on RUclips. I would love to watch Sarah giving the beans with The Fast Lane team. She's entertaining and love cars. Plus sometimes it's nice to compare the views from someone young and.... not so young. If you can keep Sarah then it's a must.

    Sarah's a natural, hire her. She delivered her lines well and will get better with time. The fact that she's tall will help point out which car interiors may be an issue for taller car buyers. "That's what's up!"

  • @Rmark1
    @Rmark1 6 лет назад +3

    They actually do not use the same platform, the Audi is on the MLBevo Platform (Bentayga, Cayenne, Urus) but the VW is the MQB platform which is more suited for Transervely mounted, Front Engine Front wheel drive cars (Golf, Polo, Jetta, Arteon, Tiguan)
    I like the video but wanted to make that clear so please don't think that these 2 cars are the same

    Dear TFL, if you bring Sarah on the show, she will put you all to shame when she drops the JT-6 Turbine in the Green Monster and Gold Mine hill will just be a dust patch....

  • @bananarepublic8985
    @bananarepublic8985 6 лет назад +10

    Q7 is built on the MLB platform, which is the same as the Touareg, Bentayga, and Urus. However, the Atlas is built on the MQB platform, which is the same as the Golf, and Tiguan. TFL should have done more research!!!

    • @SD-br2mn
      @SD-br2mn 6 лет назад

      The Q7 also uses a brand new all wheel drive system and the Atlas operates off of the dated quattro one.

    • @bananarepublic8985
      @bananarepublic8985 6 лет назад +3

      +Saleem Drayton Actually the Q7 uses the traditional Quattro which is a torsen differential (not the new ULTRA Quattro) while the Atlas uses the FWD biased haldex system like the Focus RS and the Golf R, it can only send up to 50% to the rear wheels!

    • @SD-br2mn
      @SD-br2mn 6 лет назад

      I was at the dealer the other day looking at 2018 q7 prestige, I think the dealer was referring to the Ultra Quattro which may be an option. I am not certain though.

    • @bananarepublic8985
      @bananarepublic8985 6 лет назад +3

      I do not think Audi will do that. ULTRA is a weird AWD systems that cuts off power to the rear on highways for vertically placed engines. It is there just for better fuel economy. For horizontally place engines, haldex just cuts power to the driveshaft and it does not lose power. However, ULTRA is not efficient because it has to transmit power to the middle of the car and then to the front wheels. It is a BS system Audi made for their low end cars in order to ditch Torse, while still being RWD biased AWD in city roads. Audi would not be that stupid to put the ULTRA in their high end cars because ULTRA cars simply does not drive as good as the Torsen Quattro cars.

    Took my 2014 Audi Q5 TDI for the NY State inspection today. First inspection since the diesel recall modification. Did the inspection at the same Audi dealer where the modification was done. IT DID NOT PASS INSPECTION. Something about monitors having a "not ready" state. Sorry to get off topic.

    Definitely a keeper, the format of this video is much different than your usual videos so it’s not really comparing apples to apples but I think Sarah’s personality fits well with the channel, she’s confident and seemingly quite knowledgeable as well which becomes apparent straight away in the video. It’ll be great to add a female presence to the channel for sure and I think Sarah would be the one to go with. I never comment on any videos (in general, not just you guys :P) but I think her performance warrants a comment

We are happy and i don't have get in a 65+K only 49K.
