Se lleva el premio gordo..... Mercedes The Fake Exhaust Holes Of The Paris Auto Show Floor BY MICHAEL KARKAFIRIS | POSTED ONOCTOBER 3, 2018 It’s perhaps one of the most annoying design trends in the industry now, and no, we’re not talking about the lobster claw taillights again; this time we dive into the universally hated fake exhausts. Having a sizeable set of exhaust tips is always eye-catching so pretty much every new model comes with them, despite most being obviously fake; the whole trend started a few years ago, with some cars having regular exhaust pipes resting inside much bigger polished tips but it went downhill pretty fast since then. With the kind help of our photographers at the Paris Auto Show, we gathered an image gallery that shows who’s faking it and who’s really faking it. Some models go as far as having a chrome-trimmed hole that leads to emptiness while other don’t even bother drilling a hole at all. So, let’s investigate. Audi A6 The new A6 doesn’t even care of pretending to have twin trapezoidal exhaust tips, so Audi just added a really shallow plastic cover within the trim pieces and called it a day. BMW X5 The new BMW X5 on the other hand has the decency to actually route its exhaust pipes into the bumper. Still a bit frustrating but way better than the worst offenders here. DS3 Crossback Moving on to the new DS3 Crossback, which is actually one of the most honest new cars as far as exhausts go; just look at that snug fitment of the pipe within the tip! So satisfying. KIA ProCeed The new Kia ProCeed might be one of the most impressive wagon models we’ve seen this year but it too can’t escape from the fake-huge-tip syndrome. At least the real exhaust is nestled in there. Mercedes – Every.Single.Model Mercedes, along with Audi, is one of the worst offenders here, as every model comes with these infuriating pieces of trim on the rear bumper that pretend to be the exhaust tip, only to find out that the actual exhaust hides behind them. Only the AMG models come with exhausts that actually point at the same direction with the tips, as portrayed here by the new AMG GT4 43. Toyota Corolla The new Toyota Corolla. I just can’t even. https://www.carscoops.com/2018/10/fake-exhaust-holes-paris-auto-show-floor/

Joer, en Audi son pioneros con eso... el otro día lo comentábamos no se donde, justamente: entradas dinámicas fake, y ahora salidas de escape refake Solo le falta la terminación en nido de abeja de palo.
Pues yo he estado ayer en lurauto y tenían un 850 alli, que si que es bonito, pero tampoco me pareció que hayan echado unas poquitas ganas en él. los escapes de los de cromado en parachoques y tubos adentro, pero que bastante adentro y luego lo que me dejo loco es cuando le veo las pinzas de freno trasero... amosnomejodan unas pinzas monopiston mas feas que laoxtia pintadas en azul como a brocha... penoso, ¿con el paxtón que piden por el coche no les ha llegado para ponerle por lo menos las de doble piston M ???
De verdad, que ascazo dan. Hace años criticabamos al tunero que ponía una salida falsa sin función simétrica a la original, solo por aparentar y ahora ya te lo venden así de serie. El del AMG con doble salida fake y en realidad solo una de verdad en todo el medio es vergonzoso.
Con lo que molan los cachotubos del SV, ahí sin pintura ni remate, sin disimule ni vergüenza, sin dignidad incluso, ni ná de ná, que hasta cortan los bordes si los tocas...
Viendo el panorama y el rumbo que estan cojiendo las marcas de coches, yo no descarto que ya mismo monten cubrepinzas....tiempo al tiempo
Lamentable. Es algo que ya "viví" en el Evoque que tuvo mi padre. Doble "salida" trapezoidal, pero solo tenía un escape real en la izquierda .
