On display at west London audi

In sepang blue with matt aluminium package.

The front looks good - wide and aggressive, the rear not so much...

This is one car that looks better in the flesh :)

Glorious colour & seemingly well-specced too with the ramics

Still not convinced by the angular arches & general size though

Bugger......

I drove past that showroom twice on Saturday on my way to North London.

Had I known......

Looks superb in the Sepang Blue - not sure about the aluminium detailing below the grille - in fact I'd go as far as to say that it cheapens the car?

Loving those V-spoke wheels though - strange because they looked a bit naff in the brochure.

They'd better not drive it on The Queen's Highway like that though as that rear number plate is definitely illegal.

Seen chavs in their chav-mobiles locally with what look like Polish style rear number plates in white - how do they get away with it?

I decided to take the tube over from the City to take a look at lunchtime today. I did see the LHD version at Goodwood but it was locked and it was a too crowded. I seemed to be the only punter interested so had a sit in the front and back and had a good look around. I think in the flesh (especially under the dealership spotlights) it looks the business, much better than in photos. I do agree with what has been said earlier in terms of the front lip looking a bit cheap. I did like the bright blue which I would never have considered for my B7, having said that I always think bright colours look good on any new car in the dealership.

The V spokes look seriously beefy, I was surprised how much difference 20's make over the 19's. I think the interior looks and feels great. One thing that did surprise me was that there seemed to be a little more room in the rear than the B7. The showroom car has the B7 style buckets (which I think are an upgrade despite what the salesman told me) and when I had it where I needed the seat to be in the front (I am about six foot) there was definitely more room in the back - one reason why I was considering changing the B7 is the fact that my kids complain as the front seat is inches away from the back seat when I am driving.

I am very tempted by one of these but can't see me spending £60k+ when I am still loving my B7 after 3+ years. Would definitely think again when they are around the £40k mark....
