Default 2020 Mild Hybrid Q5: Same 'exhaust' design as SQ5

I noticed that the new Q5 unveiled for Europe has the same fake exhaust design as the SQ5 while retaining the Q5 badge. Despite the exhaust design being an atrocity for not being real, it was one of the few things that distinguished the SQ5 from the regular Q5. Seems kind of lame to lose that exclusivity, unless there will be a change to the 2020 SQ5 exhaust also.


Thoughts?

The only difference in the first place was that the Q5 fake exhaust was a single fake opening on each side, thereby simulating dual exhaust, while the SQ5 fake exhaust had a chrome divider in the middle of each fake opening, thereby simulating quad exhaust. Not a difference to get too excited about either way IMO.

Fake exhaust aside I thought SQ5 owners would be more upset by the 367HP and 369 lb-ft of torque and 0-60 in 5s
Sets the bar pretty high for the next SQ5...or should I say Q5 S-tron.
