I like what I see a LOT!

I like the lines and the stance. It's more evolutionary then revolutionary but I see that as a good thing.

I need to comment though that those wheels are very aggressive for OEM.

I see some Jag XF in the front and some Maserati Gran Turismo in the rear.

Audi just seems to get it right with their styling. They seem to be ahead of all car manufacturers. I love Lexus but they have some work to do....

I'll be the first one to disagree- I don't care for that at all, and especially dislike the rear end.

I guess I must admit that it's hard to redesign something when it was nearly perfection before:

To me looks like any A4/A5/A6/A8/anything the last 20 years just the usual longer, stretched and bigger angrier grill. It will surely have good proportions though.

I am with you.

I love this generation A8. The new one looks funky and too busy and almost lost the Audi theme.

yup, but in Audi's case that doesn't make it bad, just the same (but the same seems to be working for them)

don't their renderings usually give a good projection for what the car ends up being?
