new face for Audis

[JShadzi at aol.com]

I usually reserve full judgement for an Auto design until I see it in the real, that picture is a poor angle to judge the front end of a car by, looks like tweety-bird, massive head, no body.  Also, if I like a new car design the first time I see it, I consider it a bad sign - a car designt should push you in your norm of what is good and ugly, if its not somewhat controversial or misunderstood it won't stand the test of time.

Anyhoo,
