really ricey. I think someone could make a real nice living taking the front end back to b5 look with some manufactured pieces. And what is up with the BMW creases on the body panels eeew.
The TT and the B5 were the last good looking cars they have done, cant even say they did well with the R8, but I might be able to stand one if I got it free.

Default I pretty well agree. Most of the newer bodies look wimpy to me. [edited]

I'm debating an E46 M3 convertible or a B7 S4 cab. Love the S4 for the awd, great interior and affordable mods but the M3 looks way meaner.

Edit: The r8 however I must avoid looking at if I have pants on.

Default I think the A/S5 and the new TT are gorgeous. Ditto on the R8.

I'm not so hot on Audis new interior design though, the one that started with the C6 chassis.

Default Yeah, boo on the newer interiors... Somehow don't look quite the part. But, I love the new bodies.

Big improvement over the B6, B7 'fat' look. I like the more streamlined, sophisticated thing. Always thought BMWs had better looking exteriors... But, now I'm glad to say the new Audis look better than the new Bimmers.

All opinion, of course. But, though not quite as 'evolved' as the outside, Audi interiors are still my favorite.

Default 2nd

The B5 is absolutely a classic, but you can't drive in the same rut forever.

Default Audi lost me with all A4s, but the new RS4, S5, R8 are total hits and make me want to buy Audi again

and finally some decent seats! I hate mine.

If I didn't have kids, I'd be driving an S5

I hope the V10TT engine makes it across the pond...in an RS6? that'll be the car/engine to have when the kids leave the house

The S5 is a 2 ton coupe with a driver. That's absurd to me

it's a luxo, not a sports coupe. I don't think it's meant to compete with the M3.
