"Before the eighties Audis were a bit boring".

The Audi 80GT introduced in 1974 & it's successor the 80 GTE in 1976 were real competition to the BMW 2002 & the tii and the Alfa Guilia Supers.

Even then the interior was lot better than the comparable BMW's - I owned all these cars around the time and my favourite (performance,handling, build quality, economy, styling) was the 80 GTE.

The Audi Coupe was a real looker as well- the rear view reminds me of my Aston
I agree that the Audi Coupe is quite beautiful. There used to be one parked on the street I lived on in Lisbon. You're not the only one who thinks it looks similar to an Aston. A debadged Audi Coupe was actually used as a stunt car for an Aston on an episode of The Avengers. I think it was that show. I saw it on youtube.
