Sorry if this is a double post...

The new A4.. I like it, not too sure about reliability issues but I like the looks.(please note that im not bashing Audi's reliability, I have never owned an Audi so i dont know but from what ive heard from my friends who have owned one they say there are some reliability issues)

Anyone know what that black thing is near the foglight? a sensor of some sort?

 

looks like the radar/laser (dunno which one) for the cruise control.

the previous generation FX has a big ugly box in the front bumper too.

 

guess disco is comming back eh?

 

V1 goes off everytime I see a friggin FX.

 

I like it too. This new A4 just make the entry-level sport sedan market that much more crowded and exciting. Almost all of them are hot looking in their own way. BMW 3-series sedan, Mercedes-Benz C-class, Infiniti G35/G37 sedan, Lexus IS, Acura TL/TSX duo, and this new Audi A4/S4 sedan. Can't wait to see another comparison.

 

What does the sensor look like on the fx?

 

Maybe it's for the lane-departure system and adaptive cruise control??? BTW, those LED DRLs are sweet. I saw an A or S6 with it yesterday.

 

Love Audi cars

 

+1, the new Audis coming out now are fantastic looking
