Just saw this over at Worldcarfans. Not impressed. Also, some people over there are claiming that the ugly stuff like the headlights and taillights are PS'd. I wouldn't doubt it. That tail is just downright offensive...and that front...starting to bother me...looks like EVERY other damn Audi that they're coming out with. I mean, don't get me wrong, I actually like where Audi is taking its design (take the R8, S4/5 for example), but they really need to be more creative with their front fascia/headlights.

And when I say "be more creative with the headlights", I mean the housing, not the inner details. Audi makes the best headlight details imo. They're not just simple HID bulbs amidst a sea of black and reflective plastic. More manufacturers could learn from them.

i actually like how all the audi models are getting this kind of corporate face with the Grille which i like, and the LED strip which i like, but i do agree that they should change up the headlight bumpers and such a little bit, but keep the grille and the LEDs, they are Audi's kidney grille and angel eyes, i think you can spot an audi so much easier...like you would when you see 2 kidney grilles and angel eyes, instead, we get a yawning mouth and LEDs...i like! lol

Agreed.^
These latest iterations of Audis (new A4/5, S4/5, RS6, and R8) and BMWs (like the facelifted 5, X5, and e92/3 with the really bright stock angels) are instantly recognizable on the road moreso than anything else in my opinion. It's good to have a uniform design language across a brand. Brand recognition is something each manufacturer strives for, but so far I think only Audi and BMW are nailing it on the head. Brightworks makes up a large part of it. Grilles make up the other part. You see a split grille you think either Pontiac or BMW, but the angels make it unmistakable. You see a big nose of a grille, and you think Audi. Now you don't even need to see the grille. You have those incredibly bright LEDs to spot.

Spot on. I agree. I think that's why other manufacturers fail in terms of design. I mean, look at the new Hyundai Genesis. It looks great but it is just a mix of 5 series and Lexus LS. I think they had to be more unique and things like grille and headlights need to have some sort of link with other models. When all your models have different headlights/grilles it doesnt work so good.

The more I look at these pictures the more I am under the impression that they are in fact photoshops. The wheels look fake, the grille I am not sure about and the rear lights and rear itself don't quite gel, there seems to be a lip between the rear lights where I suspect you handle/opener is but yet the reflection of the trees don't look right.
I just don't know about these photos. |

I wouldn't mind it if they stopped making SUV's...sorry SAVs...but they need to in order to generate profit. If their exististence benefits the other real models, then I'm all for it.
