Default A8 "sketches" might hold hints for A6 re-design in '05...

From the mothersite article...

Remember...I said "might," but there is something about the second group of drawings especially that suggests to me the "next A6."

There are already official photos of next A6 out, and it does look like the new A8.

Default I think the A6 is still more radical than the A4 and A8... but...

Over the past 4 years, they have "refined" it so much, and made it quite a classy design, in now 3 different sizes.

The A8 has a LOT of A6 in it from the side... hopefully the C6 A6 will bring a more radical design change than the A4 and A8, which were based on the C4 A6...

Default Not bad. DOES look like the new A8, only a little better. As much as I like the current A6, (more)

I'd like to see something more original, but just as beautiful, as the orignal A6 and TT were. But just to put it in perspective, it could look like a Toyota!

Default My local Toronto Star 'Wheels' section printed some a few months ago...

...and a couple of months back someone here posted a link to the same photos on a German publication.
