S4 (B6 & B7 Platforms) Discussion Discussion forum for the B6 Audi S4 produced from 2003-2005 And B7 Audi S4 produced from 2005 -2008

The B7 front and rear are just as pretty in person as the B6, if not somewhat better.

Saw one yesterday on the dealer's lot. Much better in person than in pictures.

If you haven't seen one in person, don't write the b7 off just yet.

The B7 looks even more luxurious and newer.
(from the outside at least)

Default hmmm...haven't seen an S4, but I saw the B7 A4's and HATED the front and rear. . .

What they've done to accommodate the front plate was icing on the cake. . .

Default I saw some over the weekend. I actually like the rear of both the sedan and the Avant.

But the front blends in with every other Japanese car on the road now. It's very innocuous.

Default Wow. I totally disagree.

I thought the front end looked very japanese. And the rear looked very short and squatty, IMO.

But to each their own. It's what makes the world go around. Hey, somebody has to buy it! ;-p

Default You didn't think it looked feminine re: to the B6?

Maybe it was just my comparison. We had a dolphin 2.0T next to an Imola S4 sedan. Both sedans. And it was just night and day to me.

The avant was across the way, and it totally looked like a woman should be driving it. I guess I just found my niche. ;-)

Default What's wrong with feminine? Are you sexist?

LOL...I thought it looked pretty good. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, I don't know. I am never going to argue that the "B7" looks <i>better</i> than the B6, but the back end doesn't look as bad as I first thought. It does not have that "holy sh-t, what a beautiful car!" factor that the B6 and B5 had when new though.

Default 2nd. I've seen the B7 in person and think the front AND rear are totally ugly and "weak".

Bassmouth grill looks even worse on the A4 than the A6. The rear looks like a Honda Civic. The Service Tech at my dealer and I were discussing what a "disappointment" we both think the B7 exterior styling is.
