i like it, having seen it on other forums, the general consensus is its just a bit too 'familiar' something a bit more individual is needed me thinks... a lot of the high range coupes/saloons are looking too alike at the moment...

OK, not with some nubile draped over the bonnet, but a dozen or so on a transporter in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago. But they did look nice though. Having just bought my first auto 'box car in a long while, I think I'd be a bit reticent about going back to manual. I wonder if they will bring out a tip'?

[RickT]

yeah it will be out..

Just like anyother model... bring the basic models with basic kit out,... let it sell then 6 months later bring the cars which people really want out to increase buying figures..

I thought they were bringing out the 3.0 TDi, S5 and 2.7 TDi to start with, following up with the lower spec models next year (2.0TDi 170, 2.0 petrol etc).

[RickT]

i dunno.. if audi are audi it will be the lower engined cars first before the big boys..

2.7 tdi and 3.2 FSi out in September. 2.0 TDi and 2.0 TFSI out early next year. Range to start from £26k apparently.Have seen a couple on the road, and I think they look excellent - wide, low and intimidating. I like!

Hmmm....3.2 FSi, OK....but the others? I have a 2.7tdi and it's all I want in an engine, but it's not quite what you would call sporty, like the 3.0 tdi. As for the 2 litre engines; big mistake. This car looks like an Aston for cripes sake.

Just my opinion, you understand. :-)
