Default FINALLY saw another A4 today!

I haven't seen any around Dallas where I live. I'm in LA on a business trip (the land of new cars) and saw a black A4 on the 405. It looked really sharp and modern! It was nice to see another actually on the road for a change.

I think I've seen five so far in my immediate area. Another Manhattan Grey, a Cotland Green, aTango Red, a Cuvee Silver and an Ibis White.

I saw the grey one right after the car was introduced, the owner was really an early adopter.

Isn't one of the reasons you bought this car is to not see them coming and going.....like a-- holes...everybody has one !

Absolutely, I like the rarity. But it is nice once and a while to see another one on the road so I can see what it looks like in motion since I sit on the INSIDE while I'm driving. ;-)

I live down near Lakewood near the Arboretum, so I'm not up that way very often. Plano is the farthest I go. Lots of new cars there, though. I'm sure I'll see one. I was actually quite surprised I only saw one in two days on the LA freeways. Californians are always early adopters.

Only seen two thus far in Los Angeles. Not a wide showing. But if I had this car, it's nice to have something exclusive. I enjoyed that with my B5, where when on the road at night, I'd flash my rear fog light at other A4's and got the same in return.

I've seen about 6-7 B9's in Orange County, including an Ibis White Premium model in the parking lot at work.

I've seen a few in the Denver metro area. I'm liking that I don't see many on the road. I like the rarity of it but than again I'm sure Audi would like to see a lot more on the road. lol

On another note:


Anyone sick and tired of seeing a lot of lower class cars with DRL LEDs? Toyota, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, etc...unless your BMW, Lexus, Audi, Jag, Mercedes, or another luxury brand you need to knock that crap off. A lot of the time it seems like DRL LEDs are an afterthought and just thrown onto the car where with Audi it's carefully designed in the car and looks wonderful. I wonder what the next trend will be in cars because it seems like everyone is adding DRL LEDs.

What I loved when I bought my 2012 A4 was LEDs where rare and definitely helped make my car "pop" on the road. Now everyone and their mom has them.


I'm sorry but this just looks stupid.

I enjoy seeing what other manufacturers are doing with their LED DRL's and taillights. With Audi and others, it's become their signature. As with anything relatively new some do it better than others. It keeps the designers on their toes.
