View Full Version : Is it just me or is the B8 A4 front even more sporty & aggressive than the A5?

I still think they need a different grille for S-Line B8 A4 and A5 cars.

The A5 also has a uninterrupted crease extending from the A-pillar all the way down to the bottom of the front bumper.

the individual. Overall, they're pretty close.

This is an A5 S-line. Note the slight difference in the fogs and the shape of the lower part of the front.

I'm not sure I think "agressive" is the word. To me the A5 looks more organic, more curvacous - more like an R8. The A4 has more of a boxy high-shoulder look - more utilitarian. Those two shots are hard to compare since the A5 is shot from a lower angle looking up, but even so, the more graceful curve of foglight/intake areas is smoother, more of an integral style element. The front of the A4 from that photo looks a bit like some after market ground effects kit - IMHO. Kind of WRX-llike. I prfer the A5 look.

personally, I prefer the S-line and S5 front which does look more like the A4. I guess it comes down to personal preference.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/43277/b8a4sline.jpg"></center><p>Note that the fog area is 4-sided instead of the 5-sided in the regular A4. The A5 is reversed i.e. regular = 4-sided, S-Line = 5-sided.

Also note that the hood crease extends from the A-pillar all the way down to the bumper, like the regular A5.
