It's the changes under the hood that make me happy I have a 2011.

My friend said it best.... The B8 A4 looks a tad bit better than the B7 A4, but both look great.

It's how I feel about the S5 now; I feel the 2013 S5 has indeed improved the front, but that doesn't detract the attractiveness of the 2008-2012 A5/S5 at all, both cars are gorgeous.

I had the B7 A4 and when the B8 came out, I could honestly say the B8 looked better in every way for me.

With the 2013 the front just looks like them messing with something that didn't need messing with. And that's not sour grapes that I just bought a 2011 S5.

The facelift is great and modern, however, the older style was unique and IMO much better. Whenever you see a 2009-2012 A5/S5 coming down the road its like a phantom or a beast out of this world! The new style DRL is just trying to look aggressive but its a bit too much. It's still nice though..

Totally agree. Whenever I see another A5/S5 on the road, I have to stare. Then I get a little jealous. Then I have to remind myself I'm in an S5

That's pretty funny.

I like the 2012 look because when you see those LEDs coming up in the rear view, there no doubt as to what it is. Nothing on the road looks like it-in my opinion. Back in May, I followed an A5 for miles on the highway just to keep staring at the car. Then I ordered an A5 S-line. Maybe when I'm driving mine around, people will have the same reaction.

Don't like the new Front Look at all. Yep, it resembles that of a Mitsubishi. I was waiting for the new A6 and didn't like what I see, so I turned to the S4/S5 .

You'll also notice that people get out of your way more on the highway

The only downside is that you don't get to enjoy the beauty of your car from behind the wheel. The best you get is seeing your LED's reflecting in the back of an SUV in front of you, or an over the shoulder glance back at it in the parking lot.

Sometimes I feel like I'm paying all this money to give everyone else on the road something to look at

Default just looks like a new pair of headlights to me

other than that 99% of people wont be able to tell the difference between the old and new A5
