Default Audi copies Aston-Martin

First it was the Ford Fusion, and now the New Audi has taken it's "Front-end design cues" from Aston-Martin.

Similar but it's an interesting twist on the current design. The interior sure looks sleek, hope we get to see some of those details soon.

If you came out of a restaurant, looked around the parking lot and got confused between the Audi, Aston and Fusion then you should take the bus.

Here's a link to an Aston-Martin Forum with complaints about Aston vs Fusion. And the attached picture with a guy complaining about his neighbor.

Default Stirring and I look forward to seeing it

I have to say that this design stirs me and I can't wait to see it in person. I remember distinctly (as many of us probably do) seeing the concept drawings of the the current A6 while driving my '05. I waited until I could purchase my '12 in October of '11 and I've been quite happy with this automobile. I've been lucky enough to own many high end sedans and a couple of Porsche 911's. My A6 Prestige is right up there in terms of design, performance, and value. If I were looking to move up, the current A8 leaves me a little underwhelmed for the money.

I love the lines and the interior photos (I know that this is a concept) and hope that the rest of the package delivers as well. I think Audi's on track. Now they need to bring the twin turbo TDI, or its nextgen, to the States to add to the decision process. That and make sure that we have access to the features that are available elsewhere.

Watching and waiting; again.

If it doesn't come with a V12 then I might still get confused.
