Audi got the 8 and the 6 right this time - those are both awesome cars to
behold.

But they missed the mark on the 4. Not by a lot, but by enough to matter.
That beak just doesn't down-scale well, apparently. And the wiggle in the
outside lower quadrant of the headlights detracts from the look (though
thinking about that now, perhaps the word is "distracts" - takes the eye off
the beak and pulls it to the headlights).

It'll be just so much "flavor of the month", I think. No legs.

By contrast, there are classics with staying power. eg:

Well, IMHO, I like the look overall, and think it works better on the
smaller carrs (A4, A3) than the larger (A8). But I do think they could
have done a better job on the rear - a little too generic/Honda on the
A4, a little too Saturn on the A6.

Oh, and it's a B7 now....

What's wrong with the grill on the B6?

I'm beginning to get used to the grill on the B7, now that it is
becoming a more sight. The numbers of A3s, A4s and A6s with the new one
piece grill are increasing on the roads here in the UK.

i painted the chromed border around the grill the same color as the
grill and it makes the car look different

the grill appears much bigger than it did before and it was a 20 minute
job with not so much money...


sanding the chrome was tough tho..
