As with every Audi design since the 80's Quattro - that is one BORING car. Gives me all the excitement of a Camry, the Camry is great car to be sure, I just like feeling excited to drive my cars.

It is most likely a photoshoped version of the current (facelifted) A6, yep

Here are some real pictures. Not that it helps...


A4 XL should be the name of the new A8, and amazingly, there's nothing new with the car that isn't already on the market by either MB or BMW! What an anti-climax...
