[QUOTE=JonBoy,Feb 20 2007, 11:15 AM] I think it looks better than the 3-Series coupe inside and out.

What - you don't push your car to its performance limits on your drives to and from work each day? What's wrong with you?!?

They're planning on an A7 as well, to go against the MB CLS.

This is one of those designs that make you fall in love with it at first sight.

You don't have to wait for it to grow on you.
You don't have to see it in person just in case the car happens to be not photogenic.
You don't have to reason that "look is subjective" because people universally agree the design is hot.

This car looks hot! Drool...

There isn't a single Audi that *DOESN'T* look hot, including this one. Audi has M-B and BMW taken care of stylistically. I can't recall the last time an entire range of vehicles was so cohesive in design and styling, and so desirable front to back.

Audi's success should definitely continue to grow.




Oh, and the A5 looks nice too...

Great looking car, overall. Interior is typical Audi perfection and the exterior is very nice as well. I think it looks better than the 3-Series coupe inside and out. Will it be as quick? I doubt it. Will it handle as well? I also doubt it. But it definitely looks better to my eyes.
Audi styling is better than BMWs, but Audis are usually several hundred pounds heavier and are inferior in handling and over-all driver feel. Plus, the Audi reliability is not as good as BMWs in my opinion. I say that without knowing what the reliability studies say, but based on my experience and that of close friends who own Audis.

Finally, It will be interesting to see what the Audi performance level is for the price. If the 335 is between 40 and 44 with options, how much will an Audi with equal performance and options cost?
