Didn't like it when saw the official pictures a week ago but it looks much better in real life.

I do like the GT-inspired tailpipes though!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way!

looks like plastic surgery gone wrong imo ... but then again i thought the e93 m3 was hideous when it came out and today i think its one of the prettiest cars around ...

Not sure how I feel about the new pipes... I guess I like them all equally even the v8 style.

New Headlamps.and tail lamps.make the current ones look dated regardless of like them or not

Wonder the cost to retrofit

Not bad... I still think is one of the best looking cars! The new interior is sick...

What are these spiders going for now that the new style is out? All the ads I find are pre-release and are asking 135 to 139k.

Having seen on in the flesh driving, i have to say i prefer the pictures. The indicators do this Knight rider flashing thing, lighting up from one side to the other, makes it look too "chavy". The front might look better only when the day lights are on, i agree that the new styling does break up the curves on the front.

I have to be honest, im not a fan of the round pipes, i like the v8 double and the v10 oval more.

the new quilited seats are AMAZING, anyone think i can get thoese retro fitted?

Happy that Audi hasnt gone down the route of BMW and Ferrari which is to completely change the desgin on the new model.
