Not sold on the exterior yet. The interior, as expected is top class. The FWD will be avail this fall in US. Quattro, not until the spring of next year in US.
On a performance note, I found this interesting:
The B8 3.2 Quattro does 0-60 in 5.7! That is amazing considering the B7 3.2 Quattro is closer to 7. (According to GermanCarblog test). 7 to in the mid 5's is a huge improvement IMO.
The car does not seem as evenly balanced as advertised. The big change was that they were going to move the engine back more to alleviate engine overhang and poor weight distribution. That article said it was only imroved by 5% or something. That was alot of build-up for a not so major change.
But as an old A4 owner, I am partial, so I am sure it will still be fun to drive. And the quattro will be "legendary." e90 fun to drive? Not so sure. We will see!
