Default Attempted comparison...
New wheelbase: 2808mm
Old wheelbase: 2648mm

So how does it look against the B7 directly?

Note that this is just an approximation but it gives you an idea of the increased wheelbase and reduced overhang compared to the previous A4.

B8 proportions are much better, the crease/fold in the c-pillar makes it look slimmer in profile

Default More legroom for the driver and front passenger.
Very cool comparison. The difference in front overhang is pretty noticeable.

Default Mike could you run that same comparo against the rendering we did a few months ago?

I think our interpretation was pretty darn close!

Hmm. A little TOO close. You must have Valerie Plame on staff now.
