I really like the looks except for that awful black panel behind the front door.

The entire body is carbon fiber. That is the unpainted body.
I've seen all body color, made the car look very long

IMO that carbon fiber panel is what makes the car stand out. Its defining characteristic. Without it, it looks rather bland. Well bland is a little harsh, but the car becomes nothing special in my eyes. Might as well get a TT if you like the monotone look.

Not a bad looking car but it wouldn't be on the top of my list in that price range.

Wow, oh wow. That winding road video had me going.

And I see that side panel can be had in something other than black CF - maybe aluminum!?

This one looked HAWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car's a bit louder than I think it should be, but man, looks REALLY fast, flat, no wheelspin due to AWD... incredible.

LF-A design maybe too OTT compared to this.

Can you say PERFECT wheels/tires/fitment AGAIN from Audi???
