Default 2008 Audi A4

Didn't the Audi just get facelifted? Well either way, I hope this is the next one. It looks like a great evolution of the current design. I can't really understand why people dislike the grille; I think it gives the vehicle a muscular, bold face that won't be mistaken for anything else. I give it a big Remember......This is the IS's competition.

Wow, so that's what, 4 different remodels in 8 years or so? That's odd.

I think those headlights have gone a little bit too aggressive and there may be too much going on with the lower grille but it does look good. However, I still remain undecided, slightly on the neg. side maybe, about the Audi Big Mouth look.

very iffy on the design, but other than that...

i'm sorry, but the A4 is no competition to the IS at all...

the A4 is super nose heavy and the handling blows (even with quattro...which doesn't do **** around the autocross track...i can attest to that)

The IS is way more fun to drive.

Maybe you haven't checked out the latest RS4 - it will crush any non-FI IS.

Not my cup of tea. The grille, like other new Audis, is WAY too large and the body lines ( at least from this view ) have too much of a Pontiac G6-style upsweep at the back.

Man oh MAn I love those Audi's boy, and they keep getting better, let's hope it stays that way. Oh and I don't think the A6 and A8 are going to fit as brother to the new A4. Now they have to redesign the NEW A6. Hmm that's what I was actually wondering about.

RS4 is a different story....that's like AMG or M...very very different from the regular ones...

i'm just talking about regular A4s...
