I seriously hope that this is a chopped image and not the real thing.

Woops, I didn't mean to press the thanks button. I meant to press the quote button.

You say the A/S5 is a fresh design. However, I think that this a4 is closer to the new a5 than the old b7 design.

They said they would release pics on the 28th.

Yeb, It's the 28th about 01.30 now.

But as far as I know, you could fill in the form on the A4 microsite TILL the 28th of Aug. But there was nowhere written on this microsite that they will mail the fotos on the 28th of Aug.

But I hope that they do come out with the pics on the 28th.

haha, very nice...

Now seriously speaking, i'm with you on this Audi "issue". They have found the wonder-formula design and they are reproducing it with slight modifications in all their line-up.

Those slight modifications make the cars look more aggressive or more luxury-oriented (see A8). So, i don't think that the new A4 (no matter if this pic we have is fake or not) will be a major turn of the current Audi design identity. We will see a mix of the current lines with only slight modifications, and we will end up with a little more aggressive than the current A4. Nothing really special, but definitely and small evolution...

PS. This is really getting very annoying with Audi. I really miss an entirely new design from them, apart from the R8...

Audi have really slapped me in the face with this one. I expected a four door A5 but they have given me a face lifted B7. I'm heavily disappointed, seriously.

Nano = A4
iPod = A6
iPhone = A8

One sausage different sizes.

I told you the mirrors were going to be huge.

Also, don't expect too much from the interior, prepare to be disappointed.

i am utterly disappointed... i believe this is real, and it looks like a minor facelift....

I know I'm not up on my Audi knowledge, but can some post the old A4?

To me this looks like the same car.

I think that the new one looks better.

Honestly I am a bit disappointed but not surprised by the design of the new A4. The design is a mixture of the A5 and the A6. The side profile is pure A6 and there are no new styling developments on this car. Hopefully the interior will make up for it.
