i like it... audi makes one of the nicest interiors imo... the exterior is very classy...

the downside (but growing on me)... the front end.

Agreed...Audi does have some of the nicest interiors around. The rear view of the car looks similar to BMWs but the styling as a whole is very sharp.
The front end although not the best part of the styling is still manageable. All in all a very sharp car.

 

Very nice. I love what Audi has done with their cars in the last 10 years or so. They've really elevated their quality and designs. I like the front.

 

I like it. I think that the lines come together much better than in the BMW. The interior is far better than the BMW as well. Just wait for the RS5 to come out and it will leave the M3 in the dust (420 hp, 317 lb-ft of torque and all-wheel drive vs. the M3's 414 hp, 295 lb-ft of torque and rear wheel drive).

I can't help it -- I still think the signature fish-mouth grille is just too large and unbalanced for the overall shape of the car.

 

that.s all these cars have for torque? thats pathetic... the SRT Crossfire with a pulley and ecu mod will leave both of these cars in the dust...meh... I really do not like the idea of all these car companies competing for the high peak horsepower number when it is not even the big factor in performance... example m5... 500 horse power and weighs 4,050 pounds and mercedes benz e55 amg 470 horse power and weighs 4,100 pounds yet the e55 is noticeably faster and priced the same... torque is where it is at not the horsepower.

I am not impressed by either the m3 or the whenever it comes out rs5..., but the upcoming c63 is defiantly something to look forward too.

 

Pretty car but I'm not fond of their new grill, its a little too "in your face" for me. My daughter had an A4 and it was one of the tightest feeling cars I've ever driven.

I think it's a pretty good looking coupe.
I have a German friend who usually makes a point of renting an Audi or a big VW sedan everytime he's in Germany on business. He's always telling me I don't know what I'm missing by not test driving one.
I just can't get beyond that "Bucky the Beaver" front end.

 

The wheels look like they were designed by Edward Scissorhands. These have got to go! Everything else looks great.

 

~ lol...

i personally liked the unique design from a far... but now you have me thinking... not so much...

 

Having owned Audi and being deeply impressed with VW engineering, I would buy another. However, I bought my first, a 1986 Audi 5000 at a very good price due to "60 Minutes". Cost me $6,000. My second was an Audi 200. A magnificent car, also low cost due to the reputation damage. Cost me $18,000. The Crossfire has set aside any Audi purchase...
