Come on, folks! It is clear that someone took the new 3 series and used Photoshop to put the Audi logo on it...

I see alsmost no similarity between the two. Ones an ogre the others a babe.

I'm not sure how to upload photos, but just for interest can someone get a pic of each to see them side by side. Would be interesting to see for those who think its the same and those that don't.

here are the to compared- make your own judgements but both companies have excellent design teams in all aspects.

<b>335 sedan</b>

<b>335i coupe rear angle</b> couldnt find a good shot quickly of the 4dr sedan rear but it is slightly different compared to the 335i coupe'.

different car bozata. please take a good look before bashing the design. they both still have unique characteristics of each companies flavor.

wtf is audi's problem??? first they give the b7 tail lights straight off a honda civic, now the b8 gets 335i tails and toyota camry headlights!

and the dual exhaust looked good on the b6 and b7, why did audi give the b8 the twin tips on the driver side ala b5?

audi has its head up its tailpipes.... i would love to design their next cars (i am a graphic designer)....

are dual for the 2.0t and 3.2t You are comparing pics of the 1.8t that we will never see here. The headlights bare more resemblance to the R8 than any camry...

from the Accord/V8q to the Civic/B5 A4 in the late 90's to the Civic/B7 A4 today...<ul><li><a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/archives2/audi_a4_and_honda_civic_taillight_design.php">B7 A4/Civic argument...</a></li></ul>

It could be Audi came up with the design first and Honda was just quicker to market. Who knows.

The same goes for the rear end of a B5. I can't tell you how many times I see a mid-90's Accord from a far distance and think it's an A4. Again, the Honda Accord was released to market before the Audi A4 in 1995.

those were the quickest pics i could find without having to do a resize. if i had a B8 here i would take pics of it for you all but i do not. if you guys like to bash audi designs or make comments about how this or that isnt official why do you drive them? why do you care to be on this site? if you dont know or understand what audi has done, is doing and constantly leading the way then get a honda. they are good cars too, but not what i prefer to drive.
