 the rear euro bumper looks terrible (IMHO)..

and the euro bumpers are unsafe..    the euro bumpers are pointless, im 
suprised audi put them on their cars.  they offer no protection at all..   in 
my US model '84 5kT i was rearended a few times in bumper to bumper traffic, 
and each time the bumper shocks returned to their normal position, without 
any damage to the bumper..also i skidded into someone w/ the front bumper, no 
damage either.  the US bumpers on the type 44's were excellently designed.   
kudos to audi for that!.
