I do not like the new Audi concepts that I have been seeing as well as thier new front grill. I think it is just plain ugly. On the other hand, I do like the new A8. I have always been fond of that car.

Are these the new Edsels I've been hearing about?

Though the A8 coupe is f-ing AWESOME!! Hope it doesn't have that horsecollar grille.

Yuck! All I can do is laugh really beacue it seems like in an attempt to look different the Germans- Audi, BMW have just changed their styles just to be different. And it came out Ugly!

Atleast in the past when people got a Audi or a BMW you could say well those are great cars with good power and quality but for the price and not bad to look at either. When ya know they just wanted the BMW or Audi name as a status symbol....now thats all they are!

Personally, I like them. The grill is a little much, and actually look a little Buggatieque but that is the type of thing that can get changed before production.

My question is regarding that 'a3' picture. The A3 has generally been a audi version of the golf. I'm pretty sure that would more likely be an a4 wagon, or all road quattro concept.

Just my thoughts.

OK, OK.... anyone saw A8 at the autoshow? Its front grille (which isn't shown in these pictures) is NORMAL, not the kind of Chrysler truck grille shown on A3 and A6 concepts.

To me the chrome thing around the grilles doesn't even look right - any chance it was photoshopped?

I also highly doubt they would go with such grilles. If they do, they will take number one spot for ugliest grilles.

I agree. I've liked Audi's appearance until this. Same for BMW's new cars.

Thumbs down

That grille's gotta go.

The rest of the car looks OK, though.

Thats not an A4 . The A3 is the new enty level Audi below the A4 on the golf/jetta platform .

Is it just me, or (with the exception of the A3s 2 tone color) do they all look like the same damn car? I honestly couldnt tell an A6 from an A8 if they were both 2 or 4 door going off those pics, the same goes for current audis & bMWs, an 8 series might as well be a 3.
