Overall looks are pretty good, lost a bit of that phat rear end though!

Grown to like the front now, wheels are mmmm!, movin' toward the M5 style a bit!

I love the steerin' wheel!!!

Ugly ugly ugly. But then I hated the 5 series when it came out and now the sportier versions are out I sort of think its kind of not too bad! Have seen a number of new style A4s (saloons and avants) and I really think they have ruined the car. The rear end treatment is particularly bad on both.

So is this the so called DTM looking car. I'm dissapointed it doesn't look that different from a the S4 but then it make look a whole lot better in the flesh. Also, 315ftlbs is also dissapointing. The brakes, suspension and map options sound interesting as well as the new ESP/traction control mapping. I like the interior and its about time Audi offered dual heating. The girlfriend has permanently cold feet and I'm the opposite and guess who has to be kept happy??

It doesn't give me that I have got to have it feel. Which part of me is relieved I can't afford to want a £60K car. I dreamed about owning my B5 RS4 for years!!

Still, I'll have the front seats with the blow up lateral support.

Sooo is this theee for real info rather than speculation? It certainly looks like the real deal with Audi demo etc.

Aye Golich looks like thieves were talking out their arses again about it looking like a DTM car, looks more like a rover ZT or a vectra.

And as for first deliverys in april.............. :roll:
Lets hope the Avant looks a lot better.

Aye Frank we'll have to watch this space to see what rolls out and when. I'm going to check out the the Audi Uk website to see if there is any info.
