Interesting. Still the question of tilt v. open. Also George@Fourtitude states it will be at NY show

dopevector 03-22-2007 07:55 AM

Wow, I actually like that shade of red. I usually hate red cars.

Quattrings 03-22-2007 08:17 AM

Looks nice. They even have the U.S. front license plate provision on the front
 
and the amber reflector - Looks ready to go...

Troy H 03-22-2007 08:54 AM

Man, what a great looking car. Between this and a new TT is going to be a hard decision.

Gorobei 03-22-2007 09:03 AM

That looks awesome. So what tuner is going to replace those Dumbo ears of mirrors?

Troy H 03-22-2007 09:06 AM

Function &gt; Form.

AlexTXA4 03-22-2007 09:33 AM

Unfortunately they comply with new regulations instored by the U.S of A..

Razor1973 03-22-2007 09:36 AM

If they were the same color or the car, you probably wouldn't think they're big.
 
I personally don't think they're big at all.

Razor1973 03-22-2007 09:38 AM

I actually like red, but despise burgundy/wine color, but this is a really beautiful shade.

Re: Sunroof
 
This is supposedly the company that makes the "Panorama" sun roof. It appears the roof design is full function (tilt up or slide back), I don't know why they would disable it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.webasto.com/products/en/2990.html">Webasto</a></li></ul>

Zetetic 03-22-2007 10:18 AM

Maybe they're afraid...
 
...to release a pic with the panorama roof open for fear of reaction! I've seen A3s with the roof open and I'm not sure I like the appearance.

RTinNYC(again) 03-22-2007 10:28 AM

I don't usually like Audis in red but that looks fantastic!!!

dopevector 03-22-2007 10:46 AM

Still Euro spec on the back plate area? Looks like a black strip still in that area.
 
Does the US not require orange reflectors built into the bumper now? Not sure why the hell other car companies would be putting them there unless it was a requirement. Just having the reflector in the headlights should make for easy removal, which is nice.

spencermfi 03-22-2007 10:50 AM

Not my favorite red, what was that non-metallic blood red from the B6 called?

Quattrings 03-22-2007 10:53 AM

Are the regulations only for 2008-up? Looked at 2007 BMW and they are still
 
getting away with the slimmer versions.

Chan 03-22-2007 10:56 AM

Menstrual red?

Gorobei 03-22-2007 10:58 AM

The mirrors on my parents' Denali are smaller. New regs or not, they're huge.

Gorobei 03-22-2007 11:02 AM

Except this isn't about form or function but lame safety regs.
 
It's not like Audi is being beseiged by complaints of tiny mirrors, after all. The ones on my B7 are just fine.

Gorobei 03-22-2007 11:03 AM

Amulet, maybe? I personally think this looks richer, at least in these pics.

spencermfi 03-22-2007 11:50 AM

Pretty sure it was called something else...

SIMPPLY @ WMS 03-22-2007 12:04 PM

yup saw that car Tuesday nite in Woodland Hills

Fxhomie 03-22-2007 12:33 PM

what evidence? FMCSA website says nothing about rule change for mirrors...
 
the code is 571.111

no proposed, interim or final rule changes listed for mirrors.

in fact, right side convex mirrors aren't even a requirement - just an option.

EXELR8 03-22-2007 01:31 PM

A huge 2nd on that comment!

Troy H 03-22-2007 02:30 PM

True, but I love the oversized mirrors on our allroad. Of course, in that case, they fit with the
 
over all design of the car. Having said that, their usefulness in getting around in traffic is much improved over the mirrors on my old A4.

K2audi 03-22-2007 04:00 PM

Garnet Red Pearl Effect? Beautiful!

PDXA4 03-22-2007 05:46 PM

The front looks awesome...

autounion01 03-22-2007 06:22 PM

the big mirrors are a design technique, they make the car seem bigger and roof much lower
 
just look at it carefully. DaSilva is a genius that thing is going to look menacing in real life.

DeMOROlized 03-22-2007 07:14 PM

Because the panoramic roof is so large that...
 
with just about 6" of sliding it'll hit the shark fin?

ChixDiggIt 03-23-2007 01:59 PM

Spotted today in Downtown LA

RBrad 03-24-2007 09:53 AM

wow.
