    Like most people on this site I am not too crazy about the front end. The headlights and foglights have too many lines that dont flow smoothly, distracting the eye and taking away from the subtle elegance. The bigger problem for me is that the hood seems to slope down a bit more towards the front. This ruins the overall masculine balance of the car. Now the front and back ends dont seem in balance. It reminds me to a small degree how the Lexus IS looks which a really tall back end and pinched front end, kind of like JLo. Anyway, just my opinion.

    Looks better out in the wild than in the renderings. I still favor the pre-facelift, but the post-facelift doesn't look terrible. I also think the RS5 really fits the facelift.

    In Europe one can tailor their car as they please, unlike in the US where we can only do premium plus or prestige and with some limitations.

    You can go to www.audi.de and build yourself whatever you want however you like it.

    Well, Peter Schreyer became Chief Design Officer @ Kia after leaving VW in 2006. So there's some Euroness to the new Optima, which is 'borrowed' from the Audi Group to an extent.

    definitely NOT feeling it. the front end has lost all of it's aggressiveness.. but, i think with some mods it CAN look good.

    I kinda like the new facelift model but what's with the wheels? That's standard 18's isn't it?

    Without the Audi badge, it could be mistaken for a Kia Optima with the many lines.

    I would like to see one with some nice mods. It doesn't look bad in those pics though I think it'll grow on me.
