-1, as the aggressive front is not matched up with the rest of the rather dull looking car. And presonally I think the LED running daylights is too much bling-bling for me. I simply think they overdone it!
though i do think its a huge improvement for audi, the a4 doesnt do it for me. i dont like the headlights, it looks like it missing another light and i dont like the ribbon effect in the lcds. all in all the car still looks a bit dull. on the other hand, im not a huge fan of the 3-series sedan looks-wise, though i think the coupe is hot. but i do like what i see coming on some of the other audi models. just my two cents.

LOL

One says it is overdone, one says it is dull.

Proof, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I know what you are getting at. I had the privilege of owning an E46 M3 and a B6 S4 at the same time. Both great cars, but the BMW made me feel like I was one with the car. The Audi made me feel slightly less connected to what the car was doing. I think the video connected to the link below can explain better than I ever could...

I learned these days you can't really judge new cars by past models. Apparently Audi is addressing the "connected" feel.

Edmunds on the 2009 A4:
"The car's handling is a revelation. Thanks to those new underpinnings, it has taken a big step forward in overall dynamic competence. Nearly every element of its on-road repertoire has been transformed or substantially improved."

The S-line B8 A4 is fukkin sick! Alcantera/leather seats













Here are a few photoshops with BBS LMs and a drop. I really think this may be my next car. I wanna try and wait for the S4 which will be a supercharged V6 but its gonna be a while before they release it. I might settle for the A4 S-line. Dealer says it wont be availble in MT until January 09
