New B8s in Ingolstadt yesterday

John Stahmann · 10-21-2007, 11:08 AM

Spent the afternoon yesterday in Ingolstadt and happened across a couple of B8s parked by the Service Training Center. I was hoping that the B8 would look better in person than in the pictures I've seen, but to be honest I was pretty underwhelmed by them. From the side the car looks really stretched and almost too long.

Maybe with some larger wheels or something...

Up close the headlights are pretty cool...

C6 A6, I think it's an A8 because it looks so big. The C5 A6 will probably look the same size as the B8 A4. Does anyone have a picture of those two sid-by-side?

Part of the reason I believe is cause the wheelbase is longer, so it gives the impression the car is much longer than it used to be.
