I'm honestly more interested in hearing how the iX performs and how comfortable it is etc. I don't like to disparage other people's cars, but I just never warmed up to the iX even after seeing it in person. Can't understand for the life of me why the iX wasn't just an electrified X5 (or X7). I have a feeling the iX will go the way of the i8/i3. But to the OP, if you like it and are satisfied, that's all that matters. And from all accounts, it is a great vehicle to live with.

Good take. It IS a great vehicle. I like the combination of comfort and power, and the 100+ more miles of range over my e-tron, far more than I am comfortable driving in one stretch. If it handles at least as good as my e-tron in the snow last year I'll be happy (and being actually a tad lighter it might fare better).
Do I wish the styling were a little different? Sure. But it grew on me, and my thinking is that when you get to the point where you can rattle off half a dozen current models that have the big grilles it has come to a point where we just need to accept it as a current design trend and get over it or move on.
