A4/S4/RS4 [Official] New Audi A4 Official Thread

[lordmenor]

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

I'm starting to like it, it seem more evil in the new pics, but i still can swallow the rear, it`s like it doen't match the rest of the car as the A5 does. I'll have to see it in real. BTW does anybody see a little 3 series coupe in part of the tail light? ( first block were the line meats )

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

the amount of BMW hate on this forum by Audi fans is seriously out of control.
BMW has to be put down in almost every post by some guys here.
Yannis, it's your job to keep them in control a bit. It's becoming very annoying.

I understand Richboy and co. being very insecure after this mild B7 exterior facelift, but come on now....

Woooow! Come on now Klier, I haven't said one negative thing about BMW in this form! Stop trying to bate me ok?

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

I knew I would start liking this more and more when I see different pics. Looks like its going to have the low profile aggressive, sporty look at the front end that I liked so much on the B7.

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

okay im about to touch a very sensitive nerve here..

but seriously the LED arrangement of the A4 is gay.. just like the R8..
its elegant.. not agressive.. and i like elegant.. but if you have elegant lights..have a elegant body.. both the R8 and A4 are supposed to look agressive..but they have this LED arrangement wich is very elegant..and well gayish..

the S5 ( wich i love ) on the other hand..has the sickest LED arrangement ever.. this is how your supposed to do it..

Pics




PS
i dont expect anyone to agree with me..as almost 99% loves the R8...

I neither like the LED arrangement on the R8 or on the new A4. Too feminin and don't really fit the while clean and understated Audi design philosophy.

The A5 arrangement suit me better. I hope that Audi won't get sloppy with the front end design of their cars in the future while focusing to much on flashy LED lights.

I'm with you two... I don't care much for the curvy layout of the LED strips. Reminds me of too many things. Christmas decorations. Anyone ever see a film called The Abyss? A straight strip detracts less from the design.

bit of a cheap shot this. Thinly veiling audi shortcomings and bmw superiority in a post that seemingly started out innocent

Re: FIRST OFFICIAL PIC!!! The new AUDI A4

Which in turn also applies for BMW. Their reign as top dog will soon come to an end.

It happened to mercedes, it happened to sony, it happened to Great Britain etc and now it will happen to BMW. What goes up must come down. Time for a new leader.

Considering that BMW has held the "Driver's Car" position for decades and Mercedes has kept their "Pure Luxury" position for decades, I don't think they're going down any time soon. The problem BMW had with design is gone and the Problem MB had with quality is gone. So, how are they going down exactly?

I don't know why you made such a fanboyish statement. I didn't say anything about AUDI going down, hell I love AUDI's. I was talking about the saying that just because they're selling well doesn't mean they're the best, because otherwise it would mean that Toyota is the best car company in the world. Would you agree to that statement?

Back on topic, I don't think the LED strips look cheap at all. I actually quite like them. But I honestly wish they were more form-factor type and followed contour lines of the lights (like the A5 and R8) rather than copy a design from the R8 which in this case doesn't follow any lines.

Given that I am gay, that ought to make the car more appealing to me I suppose...but it doesn't.

By the way, what does gay look like?

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

I believe that the image is from A3 1.8TFSI and was published by mistake.

A4 like A5 has longitudinally mounted engines.

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

Well given the look of the interior of the light it is obviously not an A3!!! It is most likely an A5!!!

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

Incredible Audi.... We can't distinguish an A3 from an A4 or A5....
Just the design of the interior of the lights...

Anytime I've seen an LED'ified Audi on the street I've been impressed. It's a good move for Audi to pick up on this as their own "Angel Eyes" signiture.

Come think - I saw an A5 this morning. LEDs looked bitchin.

Τhe image below is an A5. A5 and A4 share the same platform you know.

The image above is supposed to be from the A4 but in reality i believe that it's from the A3. Notice that the damper that lifts the trunk is one the left size in the one pic and in the right size in the other.

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

Well, been away for a week, so this is a nice surprise to come back to.

From the 13 pages I've sifted through I get the sense that most fell this is just a copy of an A5 and looks just like any other Audi.

I disagree with that it is just a A5 copy, the rear is the only strong resemblance to the A5 I see, and I feel that is justified in that Audi is trying to reinforce the notion that the A5 is indeed an A4 coupe not an A6 coupe etc...

As for looking like any other Audi well maybe, but no more than BMWs or MBs look like one and another.

For me, I like it, a lot, it looks very sleek and sexy. Not much of a front overhang, looks very aggressive from all angles, I can only imagine what the S4 and RS4 will look like. I think it looks way better and more modern than either the 3er or the C, hopefully it will drive as well if not better.

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).

I really don't know what some people were expecting. Audi is the king of subtlety, an element of their design philosophy that's loomed since the 80's, and they're committed to it. This approach won't be leaving Audi anytime soon. In my eyes, this is what every car maker should be doing w/ it's designs, as opposed to radicalizing every new generation for the sake of keeping up with current fashion trends and generating "peak" interest, glamorizing vanity instead of celebrating character and engineering triumph. AoA's slogan, "Truth in Engineering" couldn't fit the brand's character any better. Aside form that people don't buy Audi's because they're fashionable, they buy them because they're "different" from their competitors.
