The New A6

[Steve Meyer]

The new grill treatment (first seen in the new A4) is
part of Audi's new design philosophy. It is a throw
back to the Auto Union days. I remember reading a
couple of years back, that this type of grill was
going to be part of it the new look. Just look some of
the concept cars, especially the "supercars" such as
the Le Mans. I was skeptical if the designers could
integrate the big frill, but I think they will be
successful. I like the new A6, finally something more
aggressive. I've heard many people complain that
Audi's are too conservative, the new A6 breaks that
mold!
