Thumbs down

I saw it the NY auto show it looks very plain in person, has no presence.
The A8 looks MUCH nicer.

But the V12 version of the A8 will get that hideous new grille.

I don't like the front end at all. Current Audi design is straight up sexy. Even with my picky tastes towards cars I would pimp a current year production Audi. The thing on the picture looks like an insect. I am not digging it.

Audi always builds beautiful cars. The problem is long term reliability and resale.

Red face I'm neutral here

I'm kind of neutral on the looks..it is both good and bad. The basic body lines are very nice but the grille is too large and the roof is too low and too much like a humpback whale...it should be squared off a little more. But I can understand where the designers are coming from...that slick low roof was probably done for Autobahn high-speed aerodynamics.

The rear is too Saturn like for me. I'll stick with the A8.
