A4 (B8 Platform) Discussion Discussion forum for the B8 Audi A4 produced from 2008.5

I wish that the B8 had LED tail-lights. When compared to the headlights the taillights look generic

Default I agree. I just mentioned it was a bit disappointing, especially for a company that prides itself

in technology.

Default Something tells me there might be a market for these DTM tail lights.

Default I actually would prefer LED lights

I didn't realize it was that much faster, but even so, .166 seconds only transulates to 14 additional feet at 60mph.

Default 2nd. I freaking HATE getting stuck at a light with some of those cars.

And many/most current designs look ricey to me. I agree it's where the tech is headed, but it bears no weight in my decision to buy a car.

Default I still must say that it's pretty lame that the B8 (or B7) doesn't have them...

Audi can't have a sensible (philosophical) reason for omitting them on the A4 when they exist on the A6, A8, S8, etc. Cost cutting is not acceptable!

Default How is "cost cutting" on the BASE model sedan NOT acceptable?

If the A3 had LED tails, your point might sake sense.

But it doesn't.

Default Very petty Bob. It should be a given on any luxury car line....

just because you don't like them or care, doesn't explain away the nonsense of it all
