Default It blows my mind that current generation A6 owners can complain about the rear end styling.

Irony at it's finest! =)

Default What the heck do you mean? I actually like the rear end styling on my A6.

I think the line is gorgeous and very classy.

Default But you understand that everyone will love it soon...just the human nature thing going on...

The current model could (was! when new) be described as bland, but once you've had a chance to live with a car, you come to appreciate it if the basic overall design of the car works as a package. The C5 works very well as a design package vs. something like the new 7-series. People frequently just don't like "new"...we'll see how the opinions change as time moves along.

If that doesn't make sense, please go blow your mind over on AWOT. Boy, the interlopers are just oozing out of the woodwork! :P

Ugly? (I don't think so):

Default HAHAHAHA!... Yes and no. I actually like the new fish mouth look. The front looks like it...

means business. The rear is wimpy. That is my issue, not the fact that it is new.

Default I too am not bothered in the least by the new grille. The overall package is bland though.

I'm sure I'll like it soon enough...

Default I don't know about the LOVE part but I am sure this new design will grow on people.

Remember, we are not talking about a design like what BMW did with their 7 or 5 series. This new A6 design is blend but it doesn't stick out like sore thumb either. I am sure it will be accepted as one of the most sportier, luxurious sadan in its class. It's made by Audi we all love, right?
