ooo. Probably the best looking variant of this chassis.

Looks good. Def my pick on this chassis after the Q5. Wish it was more aggressive/adventurous though. Will we get it?

I like it! It's much less frumpy than the A7.

Looks decent. I will say that the new A4 looks better in person than it did in pictures, so wouldn't be surprised if this does too.

Wonder how big this is? Is it bigger than the A4?

Eh, I guess I'm in the minority here, but I've always hated the look of these coupe-sedans, going all the way back to the original MB CLS that seems to have started the whole trend (and even then, everyone but me seemed to love it).

Me likey.

I don't know how Audi does it, but their "sportback" style cars really do look more striking than their competitors. This makes the 4-series GT look just a bit stodgy, IMO.

The CLS did start the 4 door "coupé" oxymoron thing, but Audi has done this style, without the 4 doors, for a long time.

I like the hatchbacks, given that they're more useful than the sedans rather than less useful like the Mercedeses.

LOL! Reminds me of all those "Cookie Cutter" sedans that GM produced back in the 80's! Mercedes is guilty of this also......

I don't get it.

So does this replace the A6? I literally cannot tell one Audi model from another.

... Nissan needs to use these shocks on the GT-R.  It would be like the Incredible Hulk wielding Thor's hammer.... unstoppable.

Audi does well with its 'fastback' style.  XE is the only one that looks better.

At this point, it's just like buying Levis.  Pick your size and cut, that's it.

It is an A4 hatchback.

Stylistically, this beats the brakes off the 4GC

Maybe. I like the front and rear 3/4 view of the BMW better. The Audi's profile is cleaner however.

It's frankly amazing/a bit sad how similar the German brands have become.

Apparently pop-up screens are going away because of the rearview camera law. Might take a generation or two for them to figure out better integration.

This would be perfect for my brother, actually.

IMO, much better looking.  The 4GC is the best looking car in its class except for maybe the rear which is just slightly boring.

I've never liked the look of the A7. It's like a heavy weight was dropped on the car's tail.
