new face for Audis

[DieMarthaDie at aol.com]

ok, I'll come right out and say it - YUCK!  WTF are they thinking?  Geez, I thought the Cayenne was ugly... but Audi one-upped them with this new Mack truck size grill face.  What's next, carbon wings and chrome fender flares?  Maybe undercar neon in DTM team colors?

Since they're test driving the Nuvolari in the new Automobile Magazine and it is widely reported that the facia is green lit for the 2005 models... I object!

I'm sure the basic CAR will be nice, but who'd want to be seen in it?  I can't drive something I think looks THAT bad.  Just fix the front and all will be well...please!

If I was in the hunt for a new Audi, which I'm not, I'd make it very clear to the dealer what I thought of the new face and the chance of me ever buying one.  But, I hope it causes rapid depreciation in the used models so I can pick up a few of the pre-ugly models cheap ;)

Is it just me?  Does everyone love it or something?
