Yet another fast but ultimately dull Audi, I cannot understand why anybody gets remotely exited about cars like this.
Have you driven one? Not everyone wants a fast car to say "I'm fast", so this appeals to a lot of people myself included. Everyday transport, with something more special tucked away in the garage for driving fun?SevenR said:

I'd have it as an estate, in black. 450bhp in a car that could be mistaken for a 2.0TDi.
I think therein lies the problem for me. £60K worth of car that could pass as 2.0 TDI, no thanks.Just got the similar S8 and delighted with it. It readily replaces an A8 and GTR in one car, replicating 90% of the best bits of each. It is more confidence inspiring than the GTR as the tail is more stable except for a small twitch under power exiting a corner, but in road use it is not evidently replaced by understeer. Amazingly under rated cars IMHO, off the radar, not flashy. Everything I'm looking for, I am a new Audi fanboy.

Not sure anyone is.However, this is where Audis start to make sense imo. A large barge doesn't need the last word in dynamics or steering feedback.

Those fenders are killing me. I don't care if it is greatest car. Give me wide fenders. I do not understand what it is with manufacturers trying to make fenders as simple as possible every passing year. It looks so boring.
WTF are fenders?Or it's American for wings.

Have Audi done anything truly original or decent since then ??

If you want driving fun then get something that's got class, style, heritage, history and performance as well. Pull up at a decent hotel in this and most people think "tosser" as at some point during their day an Audi will have been glued 3 inches from their rear bumper !

It's quattro but good point. Just take a look at a B7 RS4 or even the RS6 before last.Oh and please don't run out the tired "Quattro" as being any of the above qualities, that was over 20 years ago

I think the best part of this is that it will probably be rarer than the RS, plus you could afford a few more options. If I didn't have a new S3, this might be a consideration, in Avant form, naturally.
