Love the interior face lift but not too crazy with the exterior.

Personally I am not digging the headlight change at all, that's why I am rushing in to get an order of the existing design before they change it next year. =)

The exterior looks tigher, more German (as if it's not German enough).

The headlights are the best thing about it the refresh. That and the flat bottom steering wheel. Looks like I'll be waiting another 11 months for my S4. Sigh

I love it. The headlights look better, as does the dash. The flat-bottomed steering wheel isn't really necessary for thigh clearance but it sure is sporty.

I don't like those wheels too much though.

Aren't they pretty much the same wheels that are on the current gen?

Keep in mind that our headlights will most likely have the outer flasher in amber like the the current gen which slightly changes the look.

The wheels look totally different to me. Do they look the same to you?

Amber corners don't bother me. I've never understood the fuss for clear corners.

I like this refreshed look better. The overall car has a cleaner tighter look to it. Headlights look great!

I doubt we get that flat bottom wheel. Note tnat the car shown has the smaller european airbags that are required when switching to a flat bottomed wheel for our current B8s. Audi has not yet made a flat bottomed wheel that works with the larger US airbags which are required due to US regs that airbags be designed for occupants not wearing seatbelts whereas in the EU car manufacturers assume occupants are wearing seatbelts and design airbags to deploy with less force.
