I like the full width "slim line" rear light application on the new Panamera. And also like it on the new D5, although I wish the rear fender silhouette was a bit sharper/more angled instead of having a somewhat rounded appearance. We will all have to see this car in the flesh to know how we really feel---Just like when the D4 was introduced. I well recall those initial comments...Talk about the end of human civilization!!! LOL.

Yep saw that new article today and makes me happy!! SO I guess all the new generation Audis will nicely fit the portfolio like the current ones with good differentiations between them all.

Another review. Although this chaps accent is so annoying (I'm from Birmingham also, so I can say that as I occassionally lapse into a "brummy" accent).

The fake exhausts - such a waste on a nice car.

I think I'll wait for the 4.0 TDI (90 A8? or something like that).

Interesting to see the suspension test with a W12 version of the car.. mmmm tasty.
