I'm not especially fond of the rectangular exhaust tips. They remind me of the many Japanese and Korean cars that have had them for some time.

+4 on the tips
Can anyone confirm what is different about the brake calipers from the previous models?

The tips are the design du jour.

I don't hate them but I agree with others here that they look like Japanese/Korean/Ford style.

They could have done something a little more unique like Porsche does.

I am not sure I like the tail lamps better either. The smoked look is a bit after market looking. I kind of like the classic red tail lamps on my 15. And my tail lamps seem better illuminated.

Not of it is a deal breaker though. Car looks awesome.

I am very fond of the rectangular tail pipes, much better than the old look of round!

They are the same as the callipers that were on my '13 Q5 3.0T, which are Brembos. I believe the current brakes are Girling.

Is this for just 2016 MY folk? Would my 2012 be eligible for this?
