the audi isnt so much as all new, as just a slight refresh in my mind. the interior is the same, the exterior...is the same except for the RS4/A5 trunklid

i understand that this is the look for all audis...but....

id prefer the C class if it didnt have fabric seats...

Err... it's all new. It certainly does not have the same interior or exterior, at all.

Yes, the Audi A4 looks all new too me. If anything you can see an evolution from the previous A4 on the exterior, but the interior is completly new and looks like the A5.

Crap, the Audi A4 is another car I have to check out now. I loved the A5 interior and now that the A4 has a similar interior this is good news for me. Exterior looks typical Audi nice.

new A4 grew a lot, saw one at the houston autoshow, took a lot of A5 styling elements which is a great thing

My brother is looking to get his first car and he is considering new FWD A4 2.0TDI base. I really don't know what to tell him. We took a look and the car is not all that exciting in base trim neither in looks nor driving department. They are asking well above 30K Euros. I am not impressed with the equipment that you get that for that kind of money either but decision is all his. Options are outrageously priced; cooled/heated seats are 550Euros but you have to add on top of that 1,300Eur leather package in order to get them and so on.

BTW, those LEDs are something that i was looking for to see in person and they look nothing special unless you are facing the car directly from front. From every other angle it's just a mess.
