I think all the Audis since the CQ/90s and 200s have been ugly (bulbous and
goofy looking), but of those (pretty much '92 and up) the newest A6, A4, etc.
are the nicest.  I think the urA6 is pretty ugly too, nothing like the sleek
and low 200s/V8s/100s/5000tqs, etc.  At least the newest A6s, especially the
4.2s and S6s are somewhat nicer than their predecessors, but they're both
basically playing on that same bulbous and goofy-looking theme instead of the
previous sleek one.
