Audi stepping up their game...

Andrew115 · 11-20-2014, 09:21 AM

Looks great to me. I like to see Audi getting fresh. Wonder if this design will actually make it to production.

GOLFFRR · 11-20-2014, 09:22 AM

seems to be a new trend with these huge front grills lately. Not sure how I feel about it.

Same here but this actually looks like it was designed well. Lexus looks more rudimentary to me in comparison.

This Audi example does have a tesla vibe to me tho.

now that you say tesla I totally can see that. Very good observation. The tesla at certain angles is a stunning looking car however at others it just doesn't do it for me.

as far as this audi goes I do like the mirrors and the headlights. Audi always seems to capture the "cool" looking headlights.

Audi's designs have always been attractive. The RS5 is a beautiful car.

This just looks even better, well done.

TahoeM3 · 11-20-2014, 10:02 AM

Reminds me very much of this...

Damasconian · 11-20-2014, 10:09 AM

I like this design ok. Now we'll all wait to see it duplicated in various sizes. That's how Audi rolls.

M3guy3 · 11-20-2014, 10:35 AM

people have to realize that the design will be dialed back. is this kind of something to give the customers a idea

Looks clean slick, just like Audi but just like most current models, not much change at the front. Rear looks curvier and smoothed down.

New steering wheel looks gash!

Like others have said though will be the same face across every model....

Prologue to monologue to homogenous.

dkhm3 · 11-20-2014, 01:09 PM

now if they can fix their heavy understeer.

JTO24 · 11-20-2014, 01:41 PM

I like the front and side profile.. but the back doesn't flow, IMO. It's nice and sharp edged up front and the sides look flared and aggressive; but that back looks like someone got a little too cavalier with the filet tool on their CAD program.

+2.

fortressmaximus · 11-20-2014, 02:28 PM

Front grill also reminded me of the Rapide.

audihere · 11-20-2014, 03:57 PM

If Audi wanted to step up their game they'd do an RS4 sedan and export it to US. This is coming from a long time Audi drive that just got his F80 3 days ago as a result of them not "stepping up their game".

Maybe when I turn 70 years old this style will apeal to me. Oh f you s4 drivers trying to race me in traffic, won't budge to your small d syndrome knowing I would dust you but i ll save it for the track. Rant over lol

evanescent03 · 11-20-2014, 10:48 PM

headlights remind me of the new MX 5

omegaSMP300 · 11-21-2014, 11:46 AM

I did not like the larger grill Lexus moved to but how Audi has done it here does look good IMO. I hope we see it on production cars.

solstice · 11-21-2014, 08:39 PM

Nope, that's a mess.
