A4 Boring and none descript!

You know, Avi, IMHO, most Audis _are_ pretty non-descript. I don't find
them very striking in design or very unique, with the exception of the
UrQ and the TT. That may sound like heresy, but I didn't buy an Audi for
it's gorgeous styling- I bought it for its technological superiority and
the engineering aspects (albeit somewhat overengineered in some parts and
stupidly engineered in others).
That said, I like the type 44 for its before-its-time styling that has
worn well (esp. in those beautifully flared '91 200q 20v and V8 models),
I like the C4 chassis S4/S6 (which to me looks like a big German
battlecruiser),
the UrQ (for its wonderfully flared flanks), the type 89 CQ (esp. in S2
form),
the RS-2 and RS-4 (killer battlewagons) and the S8 (so much presence in
"Ronin").
Generally, if it's an Audi quattro, I can always find something good to say
about it. :-) No offense intended to owners of the other Audis or other
cars,
for that matter. I like a lot of other cars as well, for various reasons,
although I look back and still can't figure out why I ever seriously
contemplated
getting a Dodge Neon ACR for track use (didn't do it, though).
