    I saw a new 7 from the rear about 2 months ago and thought it was a new
Mustang!  The rear looks like it was backed into a wall and the designers
called it a day.  Sorry, but the new styling (of the front end), if you call it
that, is similar to those "nice" droF Exploders last generation.  I don't care
for the turn signals on top of the headlights.  Yes, my opinion but it kinda is
a Japanese thing more than something a German designer would put on a car.  And
I'm half Japanese too!  Yes those goofy taillight reminds me of some
Escorts...ok off the opinion box...I just had to say something...

Yes, I to am looking forward to seeing a new A8 in person...I do like that fact
Audi is staying with tradition and familiarity in their styling cues in these
new generations.
