Re: Grade the new AUDI A4

Understatement, evolutionary design that immediately remind you of the 4 rings. I am glad and sad at the same time, Audi has became the new Merc with their simply and beautifuly designed cars, BMW is flaying solo with their love it or hate it revolutionary designs.
And MB ? just confused in between.

Re: Grade the new AUDI A4

4, with the option of changing it to 5 when I get to see the car in the metal.
My initial disappointment caused mainly by rather poor publicity shots changed soon into approval once better pictures were released. Some might claim that Audis are the same sausage in different lengths, but if you would insist with different sausage every time you'll eventually end up with the automotive equivalent of herring salami with whipped cream.

I agree with your position on Audi and BMW, but not Mercedes! Mercedes has stayed away from it's understating design for a more adventures and youthful image, and they still have managed to avoyed offensive styling at the same time imo!

Re: Grade the new AUDI A4

I think it's a decent evolution that Audi has done. As with previous Audis, I think that down the line, this car will not age well and will look dated very quickly. For some reason, I can't say the same thing regarding BMW or Mercedes-Benz.

What do u guys think?

Re: Grade the new AUDI A4

DocM: well I kind of don't agree that this will date so badly. Well, from my point of view non of older Audi models has aged badly ! all became classic, I dunno it might be just me but the way I see it, Audi had maintained its simple design elements from one generation to another and once a new model is released, it hardly makes the older model obsolete. This is what MB used to be. A new model released and the older one manages to stay beautiful, this is true to the Bronno sacco generation but I guess it won't be the case anymore IMO.

Re: Grade the new AUDI A4

Simly the best designed car in it's class.

C class has nice exterior but the interior is somehow not good enough , 3 series has a quality interior but the exterior is lacking in some aspects. A4 combines both.

Yannis: true but am afraid its going to lack the fun factor & driving dynamics. It might set new track records against the 3er but they are still some RWD maniacs (Me ) that would be turned off by the FronTrak or Quattro. Anyway its a nice car to own after all.
