I saw one in person today and it look great.
One concern is that the front end spoiler is about and inch and half from the
ground.
People with driveways with an incline will have a problem.

No change there, then. I already have to enter & leave my driveway
diagonally, in my C5.

Same problem with my C4. I have already checked with the street
department and they have told me that it is OK to have the curb
changed to be a gentle slope at my driveway. They have plans
available so a contractor can do it.

I thought about that too. Unfortunately, right now, there is a significant
(up)slope on my driveway too, so I can't do much with the curb. Fortunately,
as part of a garage remodel (to fit a class B RV), I may end up lowering the
garage floor & reducing the driveway angle to match.

This is designed with intent to be quite low. However, the design team fully
understands the air dam will contact paving regularly and made it more
forgiving so it deflects when needed, makes much less noise when scraping
than on the C4/5, and the material has very high durability.
