I was so much in to Audi before, besides BMW's , I had a A4 1.8T then a A6 2.7 Bi Turbo then the A6 4.2 all between 1999 and 2002, I loved them, but I came back to Bangladesh and since there is no Audi dealer here, I never thought about them, also there line up started looking bloated, except for the S8. Good to see they are getting back in action, btw if you guys thought our E60 needs too much service....you should have seen me going back and fourth with all my Audi's to the service center lol....damm things would throw a check engine light even if you sneezed in the car lol.....
Thats strange, my A4 I had was perfect. Not one problem.

My E60 on the other hand, lets no get into that.

I guess its hit or miss with every brand these days.

well with my A4, first the Air con failed, then something to do with the exhaust emission system, then the interior trim started rattling, finally the Engine Oil pump failed at 9000 miles, Sonen VW AUDI replaced the car for me but I decided pay some more and got the A6 2.7...bi turbo....really good but then opted for the 4.2 V8..... there is something about the Audi which feels kinda right....I am a lot calm when I drove them lol...never did a SINGLE mod in my Audi's ....but this one is different..

I think the Audi styling has become very aggressive and looks great. When I had my A6, I remember thinking it looked very "stately" or "sharp" but never "mean" like I always thought the E39 5 series did. The new Audis, however, are a complete change in direction. I think the new R8 (especially the TDI version) looks better than the latest Lamborghinis. If used R8 ever become affordable for me, I would love to have one.

I like the front of the A4 way better than a 3. The rear looks like a stretched version of the 335 sedan not coupe. The sides of the A4 don't really appeal to me. A little too bland, but then again I'm not a fan of Merc's aggressive c-class body side design either.

Overall, the Audis have been looking pretty sharp. I just saw a transport with a bunch of Audis on it- and iguess Audi now uses a cover for all their cars when transported

Look at the tails again, don't you think the coupe (not the Sedan) is almost the same as the Audi ????
