Need to see the whole car, front is ok except grill. Reminds me of Jigga when he does this...

[coolwater]

Noooooooo not the hood seam of total fugliness....

[kevinnijjar23]

Reminds me of an Aston Martin

[NoMojo31]

The overhang seems to suggest that the motor is in front of the front axle to a large degree.

[HP Hungry S5]

Reminds me of a Ford Fusion.

My first thought too.

reminds me of an infiniti Q50

The wheels remind me of a Bentley. The front looks like a ford fusion. The hood line looks like a BMW.

All in all, quite ugly.

[Johann@Carbnlab]

Exept for the rings I don't see an audi here. Just a blend of design features seen on many modern cars. No caractere, no identity.

[AirmattRS5]

I guess the next generation ford fusion will try to imitate Audi instead of Aston Martin.

[Black S]

Oh god no, it's a ford fusion.

Now I'm in even more love with my b8.5 ;)

[GSS5]

that's not the real deal. that's photoshop.

[TARDIS]

Seen the prototype on the road today

[B8 S FOR]

Oh HELL NO! This appears to be the WRONG design direction! Mazda, Hyundai, Toyota etc... along these lines...

[MilesM]

The glimpse you can see of the car in the video is way different than that image

[bmwhat?]

Audi, fire the damn motherfu**er!

[mxrz]

^ That's not it.

[Badger Audi]

:(

[JamesRS5]

Reminds me of a Ford Fusion.

This is exactly what my first was.

I'd like to see the rest of the car before I decide but at the moment, it just looks like every other new car out there.

[Octothorpe]

^ That's not it.

The big win from the video was seeing that it *didn't* have the inexcusably horrible bonnet seam of the BMWs. Also, the geometry is just vastly better than the mockup.

2 weeks, we'll have all the answers.

[Black S]

2 weeks?

[Octothorpe]

2 weeks?

It's being officially unveiled at the LA Auto Show.

[primea6]

looks way better than the new A8...

[Nastybutler]

It looks like an Acura had sex with a Ford and this is their spawn. It might grow on me though.

[antoff83]

[B8 S FOR]

Damn that interior reminds me of "KIT" from Knight Rider!

[SixShifter]

when will Audi stop cutting corners and utilize directional wheels ... especially on these show/'future' cars?

Founds this on Audi Deutschland Facebook page.

I like the new design a lot, carries over some signature Audi traits but offers a ton of new technology. Wonder what the price point is going to be on this...

last pic looks awesome!

[AirmattRS5]

Very angular and stout at the front..but soft and round in the rear?

Just how I like my women.

[bknewtype]

i like the lines of the car but thats it. dislike rear. dislike wide grille. headlights look better than the FL imo

From Audi today:


A new day of Audi design on the horizon




The LA Auto Show will serve as the backdrop for the North American introduction of the first vehicle to carry the visual signature of Marc Lichte, the new head of Audi Design. The show will allow visitors to experience the new era of Audi design in person. In addition, redesigned models of the Audi A6, A7, S6, S7, Audi TTS, and the TT Roadster will be featured at the show. Innovation has been part of the Audi Brand since the company’s inception, so it’ll be exciting to see what’s in store for Audi enthusiasts.

[mozman68]

And pics from the show...

I like the design... But I am curious how the next generation A5 and A4 will look? I have seen renderings on Car & Driver for the 2017 A5 which look great with a few subtle changes. I am thinking the B8 A5 will age well (I hope at least) as I would like to keep my car for a while without feeling like it is old news and buy a weekend ride in a few years. To me the B5 A4/S4 and B7 A4/S4/RS4 still look great when well maintained with a few tasteful minor cosmetic mods even though being anywhere from 6 to 16 years old in design.

700+ hp will make me grow to like new body. Body is kinda confused fusion rear ended by Acura. But the hp with Quattro. Works

As an aside the new engines while I prefer N/A damn these blown motors are outstanding.
When was the last time u pulled up to an eight lane intersection with possibly 3000 hp all street cars. It's impressive and disconcerting not knowing if the Taurus has 550 hp. :)
