Quick Poll: New style pull-out door handles

Some of you have already noticed that the newer models are coming with the pull-out door handles. Next in line to get it is the B8 A4.
What do you prefer (indicate in post):
Flush Handle
Pull-Out Handle

My wife likes them better (her nailz)!
I did'nt notice that they were on our A5, until she pointed out that she prefered them. Now she drives "my A5", while I get her B7 Avant!

If you are talking about the pull OUT handles, which those look to be I prefer those
A LOT more than the old pull up(flap) style. Have them on the GTI and like them A LOT. Better feel when opening the door.

I would also think for safety reasons. I would prefer to grab onto this style handle
to yank a door open after an accident than the current door handle style which is harder to get a "good grip" on.
And these door handles pull out IIRC (if they're the same as MB and other car manufacturers who use this style), not "pull up".

Re: the flushed handles on the A8 are nice to look at, but ergonomically, these A4 style are superio
Hi,
for security reasons i prefer the pull-up door handles. After a crash, the doors are easier to open. And they're stylish to... from my point of view.

The ones in the pic allow you to grip the entire handle, kind of like the grab handles
inside the car vs the current style where you can only grab with your fingers under the handle and thumb outside.
