Default Every site has pretty much the same pics and text (except for small editing done by KAK).

We'll see more variation closer to public launch, and after.

Default half/half on the tech, complete nay on the design

need more tech, more luxury, it's a good, car but that's all it is, a good car, every car in this class is a good car, tech wise, they did alot, but that only brought them to the level where many others already were BMW, Lexus, almost where MB is, so ... I kind of have to say, so what, ...

Audi did nothing to seperate it's self from the field, something MB and BMW have become very adept at doing with their flagship cars. Basically, Audi just got themself back in the game, after being on the bench for a few years, but definitely not enough to get them in the pro bowl with MB and BMW, they kind of did what Lexus did with LS430, conservative, ... bland, except the Lexus has way more luxury, luxury on par with the MB.
