The new Auto Union-inspired A6 grill? Can it be done??? Two words: Chrysler Concorde.

The 1957 DKW "inspiration"...

The "New A6" (or the latest "view" posted hereabouts)...

The '03 Chrysler Concorde...

I'm bettin' that's the direction we're headed...for better...or worse.

(And Finman's gonna be buyin' wax for everybody!!)

...and I don't mean ugly like people were saying the B6 A4 was ugly. It wasn't really ugly -- it just didn't look great (like the B5 A4 did), and the pictures of it were not flattering. It's OK looking. This new rendering of the A6 is down right hideous looking. They could make the A6 out of aluminum, keep the weight to 3200-lbs. and throw in a 340hp V8 for under $45,000, and I still wouldn't buy it if looked like that.

That picture of the new A6 is just awful and would sell like ****. However, if the new A6 looks more like the pictures on the auto/erlkoenige section of an all German website called stern.de, then the new A6 will probably sell really well because the A6 looks far nicer in those pictures than it does in any other pictures, IMO.
