Default Survey: Which grill do you prefer?

Below are three grills: the old split grill, the new single tall grill, and a version I photoshopped of the new grill with middle strip painted the body color.

Which do you prefer? Perhaps in order of preference?

Just curious, since all Audi's will eventually adopt the new grill (image #2).

#1. Audi's brand recognition is the 4 rings. The fishmouth adds nothing to its brand!

Fishmouth without 4 rings might be best or rings on the lower half.

#1. The new one looks more like it belongs on SUV, maybe on the Allroad

It certainly does look that way in the picture.
You mentioned your 18s make some noise at highway speed. I really love those wheels, you are right they make the car. How is the car's ride different with the 18s versus the 17s?

The new grill looks much better in person than in print.
