Feel free to crucify me, but in terms of styling the B6 still is my favourite Audi A4.
Beautifully sculpted curves. Just gorgeous really.
Shame there was no RS4 (B6).

Thanks to the full fontal pics by Audiholic some pages ago, I now understand why I like the A5 more than the A4, from the front. It looks more clean, and here is why:

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).
And I have to say, that a B6, with the first model, without any package, is the worst looking A4 so far...
Example:
You really had to put this on it, to make it look really good:
And mine is the B5. It's just so perfectly designed, that it can still look modern today.

Yeah, I remember how I hated it when it came out, and didn't understand why Audi ruined such a beautiful car. It became nice first in the last year of it's range, when Audi put everything on it, such as:
I'm glad we are here now

Yeah, but that was the 95-99a model, right? The 99b-2001 facelift got changes in the front stearing and all that if I remember it correctly.

OT, but that was also the Audi A6 biggest issue when it came out at first.
I really hated it, until the RS6 came out, and then it all changed.

Cladding is really a big deal on premium cars, it makes a car look cheap and destroy the overall appearance. The difference between a car with it and one without is can be like night and day.

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).
The B5 A4 was simply revolutionary when it came out. You have to remember that when it launched in '95 there was nothing like it on the market, it completely transformed Audi's image, and was the first Audi car to challenge the 3 series. This is the car that made Audi the success story that they are today.
The B6 was a good looking car, but Audi had really ruined it with the half colour coded bumpers and lack of luxuries. B7 was essentially the same as B6.
B8 looks interesting enough in the right colour and as a 3.2 but I'm still unconvinced about the lesser models, which will no doubt be more important to Audi as they will sell lots more 1.8T's than 3.2.
I will wait keenly on the 3.2T which is said to have different trim inside and beefier styling including larger wheelarches (like old S3 and A6 4.2).

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).
I do agree. Especially the B5 S4 us imo one of the most beautiful and clean cars ever made:
I wish the RS4 B5 was also made in saloon.

Re: New AUDI A4 (Official pics).
Reading through the press release data, over and over again.
I'm perplexed as to why Audi haven't released technical data or drawings of the car's mechanicals. From what I've read, I suspect that the B8 with 4 cylinder engines will be front-wheel drive with transversly mounted engines and the V6 variants will be four wheel drive with longitudinally mounted engines.
Is this a reality? Anyone care to shed more light on the subject?
This presents interesting engine and drivetrain permutations for the B8 if this is indeed the case. I'd be helluva surprised if Audi only offers the 4 cylinder engines in 2WD only as quattro-equipped models proved to be fairly successful in Europe. So then, do we see Haldex coupling quattro for 4 cylinder A4's and Torsen quattro for 6 cylinder versions? Does this, in turn, mean that the V6's will only be offered in four wheel drive?
Interesting times ahead...
I gather, also, that the 1.8 TFSI engine replaces the old 20V 1.8T (duh!) but interestingly, Audi make no mention of the award-winning 2.0 TFSI in the initial line up. So then, Yannis, Audiholic and Iceman, when does the 2.0T get a power boost and by how much?

Audi
Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles
headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the
Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th
century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded
by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW
and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932.
The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto
Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
