Default I can totally see the emotion in the GS design after watching this video

Granted, I currently have an S5 Cab and think the lines are beautiful, but compare the A6 to the GS in this video and enough said...

no emotion in the audi, it's like it's just,,,,,, there. the GS however is full of emotion and the stance is demanding. the lines are all in the right place. somewhat subtle in places but there none the less. i've had my F-Sport for over a month and people are still coming up to me saying "what a beautiful car."

I was ho-hum on the design until today after seeing our Vossen Project GS lowered 2 inches with our 20" CV3 and CV2 wheels. It is really needed to showcase such a great design. Like most Lexus there are so many details in te body that pics don't capture.

I'm back in love with the GS! I will post pics soon.

I love my 4GS, but have to admit that I saw a black A6 a few days before I bought mine and thought it was beautiful.

I agree with the emotion behind the video - but it's not a very fair comparison. Namely:
* The A6 is white on a white backdrop, and the paint doesn't look metalic. The 4GS is shining...
* Any pictures of the front/back has the lights on for the 4GS while they're off for the A6.

They're both beautiful designs. Just different. And at the end of the day I bought a 4GS. Styling, drivability, and reliability were all factors and they all were tipped in the favor of the 4GS.

Problem with Audi design is that its become so common and plain IMO. I still find it attractive enough, but there are better alternatives anymore

gs looks good in the video, but the comparison is stupidly biased. the gs is all shot in gorgeous lighting and the side profile with the blurred road behind. the a6 is stationary, white on a white background.

We can all agree how handsome the S5 is but it simply looks like a A4 with 2 doors. Audi has gotten blasted for unimaginative styling outside the R8/TT. Everything looks the same, even if in most cases it is perfectly handsome.

BTW you hate wheel gap, here is a pic Audi released of the updated A5



The GS design is interesting and it can't be confused with the IS or LS..hopefully never. Past the front end nothing is really original but it looks like a proper 50-70k car and has interesting details.

I'm a car guy and I honestly confuse various year/generation Audi cars all the time.

Nothing common about the S5. Timeless beauty. The A6 is what I was originally referring to. The design doesn't come anywhere near the design of the A5/S5.
