The new A4s are in the hands of the press apparently as a few of them have been spotted in Toronto, so you might see one especially if you happen to see a set of LEDs in your rearview mirror.
As for the A4 itself, the side/front design has a VERY aggressive stance. Even the one without the S-line package. In fact I prefer the front bumper of the non-S-line, though I'd take the rest of the other S-line visual changes (sides and rear trunk lid). The proportions especially the front overhang is much improved. The new schnoz that appeared on the B7, the overhang really stands out - not in the good way.
The standard seats are much better than the crap seats we have in the B6/B7. Sport seats will be better if it's anything I've seen already.
Rear tail, if you look at it from the side, really reminds me of the B5, a few others mentioned this also. Nice.
Interior, i like the layout, it's like the A5/S5. Some don't care for the trim pieces around the centre console but it looks fine to me. I never really paid attention to the "touch and feely" aspect of the buttons, some have commented that the 'quality' has gone down to some degree.
No dipstick with the 2.0T, some mentioned it is there, but Jason Turner there mentioned there isn't one anymore. Couldn't find it either. Also, exhaust, double tips on the left side only now. Some are unhappy that the dual exhaust is gone but it's sorta pointless for a I-4 engine anyways.
Can't wait to test drive it. My ideal B8 - ibis white A4 avant 2.0T quattro six speed, sport seats, sports suspension. Everything else after is icing on the cake. Done.
