Audi's neu styling
At last the new A8 W12 has been revealed. It sports Audi's new styling signature, the "shield grill" from the Auto Union racers of the yonder years.
The shield grill will be applied to every car range in Audi...even to TT replacement...which would be interesting...
The Pikes Peak, Nuvolari, and the Le Mans seemed to carry it well, but will the people like it?

The grill with the chrome molding around it looks tacky. I would rather they killed that piece of chrome, it highlights the wrong parts of the car.

After talking to someone who works at Audi and learning all the different sensor and computers on the new 8's it's over 200 on some of them. I am even more appreciative of this car I love the thing I really like the aproach Audi is taking it's not a very drastic change I really like it.

I think that is the Nuvolari. The head and back lamps looks like that are made of leds.
Am i right?

This may sound very strange, but because it has that swooping down grill, it kind of reminds me of the Audi LeMans. I prefer the "original" A8, but this one still ain't bad.

If Bangle comes to Ingolstadt to design Audis I will sell my Audi in protest, and not look at Audi`s before he is gone. |
if Bangle comes to Audi....i will literally drive my Audi straight into Audi Of America Headquarters in protest. |
Hahahahahahahahar!!! I literaly laugh out loud. I would consider Audis the likes of Toyota if Bangle starts designing Audis
