while I waited for the dealer to finish working on my car.

I have to say, now that I've seen the pics of the A8 with the "fish face" from paulroad's post...IMHO one of the biggest problems with the new A6 is the lines of the hood. Rather than leaving the lines...and by lines, I mean the shape of the actual hood...towards the outside of the hood, travelling straight down the outside edges of the car, they cut them in toward the center. My eyes were continually directed right into the fishes mouth!

I have to say...I've loved and driven audi's for years...but this thing is UG...LY.

Interior is really sweet though. So if you get one, stay inside and make everyone else look at the exterior

After about 45 minutes of staring at the car...it finally hit me...Volvo.

The pronounced V-shaped bonnet is a Volvo thing and is cropping up more and more these days (e.g., Scion, Hyundai, etc.)

While I'm not thrilled with the looks of the grill or the steering wheel the interior is quite nice - but not exactly a stellar leap over recent designs. I somehow expected Audi to move the ball further.
