Well, I'm scared again, if the B8 might look anything like this.

I will wait to see, of course, but I am not encouraged.

Ummm....this is a thread (with pics) of the new A4. - tboned 2007-06-22 16:28:03 (1107 views)

those are photoshopped pictures of an A5 - DirtySoap 2007-06-25 00:18:53 (539 views)

Why would anyone buy an A6 if the A4 is going to be this big? - shwndh 2007-06-09 21:37:26 (861 views)

very nice - PJM99 2007-06-04 12:56:52 (344 views)

Curvy shoulder line not present in latest B8 spy photos. Taillamps different from A5 as well. - B6S4 2007-05-29 02:22:57 (879 views)

If it looks at all like Matt's S4 rendering - Brooklyn 2007-05-27 13:37:12 (548 views)

Man I hope it looks more like this... - chadstur 2007-05-23 20:04:29 (1168 views)

I think it looks very much like the A6, at least the Avant, which is to say I think it's gorgeous - sieben 2007-05-23 15:17:49 (458 views)

Yea, this pic looks like an A6 to me in style and size. If it's this big, who would buy an A6? - shwndh 2007-06-07 18:31:23 (320 views)

I would buy an A6 if it came with a 6MT, preferably the Avant. And while I love it, my B7 Avant is - sieben 2007-06-29 11:29:54 (232 views)

Concur with your first two points, I however like Audi's grill.. - D3AeighT 2007-05-24 07:00:00 (822 views)

You understand that these are renders right? Not official pix - Jason Teller 2007-05-23 20:31:13 (286 views)

I cannot tell the difference between that and a 3 series :( - kkemp 2007-05-23 08:53:12 (397 views)

How fast will they be with th B8 RS4? - Guilty 2007-05-23 00:52:09 (325 views)

Interior - Thoughts? - mrock22 2007-05-22 15:19:54 (477 views)

A5 has MMI so A4 will too... interior will be nearly identical. - B6S4 2007-05-23 10:43:44 (417 views)

I think you may be half right - Jason Teller 2007-05-23 20:30:27 (339 views)

Fourtitude is reporting minor details like air vents will be different - B6S4 2007-05-29 02:15:01 (241 views)

Have to get used to that lining in the doors there seems to be a curve in the door? - Guilty 2007-05-22 03:27:12 (235 views)

Those renderings look like something Chris Bangle would come up with....that's NOT a good thing... - freakness 2007-05-21 18:19:52 (355 views)

Not sure exactly why, but it looks very big and well, muted is the first word that comes to mind - nord1899 2007-05-21 15:31:17 (327 views)

Looks like I won't be holding off my order of a B7! The B8 is hideous! - blackA418 2007-05-21 15:15:15 (445 views)

Does anyone have any data on probable power levels for each motor? - bhvrdr 2007-05-21 09:05:10 (315 views)

I also think the wheels used in this rendering don't help matters.. - chadstur 2007-05-23 20:09:10 (222 views)

i strongly agree! - mk42 2007-05-22 21:57:36 (247 views)

I would hate to see the Avants reborn as SUVs..... - TT2A3 2007-05-21 05:29:32 (463 views)

Expect the Avant to look a lot like the Roadjet Concept with the wrap-around tailgate a la Q7. - B6S4 2007-05-29 02:16:50 (264 views)

Totally agree - Jason Teller 2007-05-21 08:05:14 (397 views)

I, too, hope you're wrong about Avants with auto trans only. If so, I'll be forced to consider a - sieben 2007-06-29 11:33:39 (193 views)

2nd that. . . - 1990V85speed 2007-05-21 09:23:41 (303 views)

To me Avants are just as much part of the audi brand as quattro is. - Less=More=Audi 2007-05-21 12:40:31 (368 views)

I totally agree - Avant more power 2007-05-24 12:03:12 (248 views)

That's what I want too - jchull 2007-05-26 20:46:37 (234 views)

The proportions in the renderings look off... I don't think it will have the curvy shoulder line. - B6S4 2007-05-21 11:03:24 (458 views)

These are renderings... so yes they are just impressions based on data we could gather - Jason Teller 2007-05-21 08:04:24 (432 views)
