This may be one of the few times that I prefer, by a large margin, the older version. I'm sure I'd be happy with a 2013+, but this version lost the svelte lines of the 2010-2012, like the way the line in the hood flows through the grill. The 2010-2012 looks even better in person, so maybe the 2013 follows suit? The Mac-truck grill cliche is going to get even worse now....

I didn't notice that at first but it does make the rear look a lot chunkier.

I like the new tail, but I just can't get behind the new grill and headlights. Too trapezoidal.

I'm not sure what you two are talking about. It's the same as the current S4.

Perhaps it looks that way due to the squaring off of the rear taillamps.

To me, the new grille looks fugly

I think the older 2010-2012 Titanium grille looks much better than the 2013 grille.

The 2013 front view looks like a squinting cat.

This same reaction happens with pretty much every new version of any car.

Half a year ahead of release everyone says, "They ruined it! I hate it!"

Right around release time the gestalt is, "It looks better in person. It's growing on me."

Half a year after release everyone says, "I love my car!!!"

Pretty much every forum I've ever read for every car goes through the same pangs. Too funny.

All new S4 is supposed to be in 2014, right?

Stereodude

No, maybe 2016.

If you go to about 40 seconds you see a good pan to the rear and a follow.
