I'm indifferent about the styling changes, but If I'm paying for a 2012 I'd really like to "have the upgraded Quattro all-wheel-drive system with a crown-gear center differential that allows for variable torque splits"

Doesn't look too bad, but I much prefer the current front end styling. The new nose reminds me of the new Ford Taurus. I'm not sure why, but that's the first thing that came to mind when I looked at this picture:

I'm not a fan of the new headlight at all. I don't like the LED going all over the place like alot of cars trying to copy Audi's DRL. The way they are now it is alot more fluid and nature.

I will agree i'm not a huge fan of the new DRLs ( I like the hockey stick lights) but i do think audi did the best they could do with a car that was the sexiest coupe. It seems like a lot of people want the car to look the same for 10 years ( it is that sexy) but I do like change.

Looks pretty good.

Although I am fine with the old front end and will be happy with ordering a 2012 A5
I like the current one better.

You guys in US will get this, as I'd already said, in Q1 2012 as probably 2013 model.
