It's not horrible, but it could have been much nicer. Same way I feel about the new S4.

Default I'm not so sure of Audi's new "Auto Union" styled front end. Also, it looks like Bangle...

is influencing more than just BMWs - I swear the new A6's body panels reek of his "flame surfacing". BUT, I'll reserve judgement until seeing it in person. I thought I liked the new 5 Series until I saw it in person.

Default dont like the a4 design period. it was good when the a4 looked like an a4, a6 looked like an a6, and

the a8 looked like an a8. now the a4 looks like a little a6. it doesnt look bad, just not the step i wanted audi to go in. i love the swallow tail trunk on the b5 s4, LOVE it, and now its gone. at least now the a6 looks different.

Default I think the interior is much nicer .. espcially since the B6 A4/S4 is so not.
