[V8] Front End design

[pjager at telus.net]

The wipers work. I won't touch anything that works, on this car.

This little exercise has shown me that the new Audi front end is very retro.
And there is a real harmony in its design. Something that is not present in
the majority of cars. This is due to the intrusion of the bumper, leading to
split and disjointed upper and lower halves.

By flowing the top and bottom halves together, Audi has been able to deliver
a style in the theme of the great designs of the past (pre-safety).

Audi styling is one of deception: To get a car that looks like a
front-engine, rear drive, with proporitions that just make the evelope of
correctness, when the front wheels are fully behind the engine. And to meet
bumper restrictions must be challenge.

Loose the wiipers and you've saved 80k over a 2005 model ;-)
