A Rose By Any Other Name...

Where's the facepalm emoji when you need one?

"In March 2023 Audi announced plans for a new naming scheme to better differentiate gas cars from electric vehicles. EVs were supposed to use even numbers, while models with combustion engines were set to use odd numbers. The nomenclature was still very much alive last November when the next A7 was announced as the A6's replacement. Now, the German luxury brand is reverting to the old vehicle naming strategy. Going forward, the numbers will once again refer strictly to the size of the vehicle rather than the type of powertrain. The next-generation A6 will be the first model to use Audi's new/old naming scheme. It was supposed to be rebranded as the A7, but not anymore."
