What happened to Audi design?
Discussion
Good evening
I WAS a hug Audi fan. I have owned several Audi's and so did my father. I remember in high school lusting after a RS2 when my friends wanted Cosworth's.
I feel Audi or the VW group are getting too infused. Audi is loosing its identity and Skoda, Seat and VW are devolving, elaborating and remodelling their design. Things like interior, shut lines and crease lines are becoming to "VW"
I look at the original TT and the interior and exterior look more bolder and futuristic than the more recent models.

king loads.To be fair it is not just Audi or the VW group. Manufacturers design a car and rescale it to fit a market segment.
The Mercedes c, e an s class all look the same. Jaguars are the same. Where are all the coupe's? A coupe now is a three door salon. The only car recently that have me the wow factor is the McLaren 720s. The pictures make it look like a Munter but in the flesh it is stunning!

is that why some coupes are considered hairdressers cars ? The Mercedes c, e an s class all look the same. Jaguars are the same. Where are all the coupe's? A coupe now is a three door salon.

To be fair, VW's styling has completely lost the plot.
Anyone seen that new Arteon thing? Creases everywhere for no reason. Didn't know when to stop. They took the already odd influence of the Skoda Superb and turned it up to eleven.
And the new Polo? Inside, cheap plastic everywhere. And the creases for now reason are now there on the outside.
Stand at the front of a new VW and count the number of horiztonal lines. Then count how many actually do something...

Looking around the industry there are people who have moved along, progressed or found their mojo. The new Aston looks like they've stepped into another century, the Lexus LC looks like they've employed Zagato, the BMW 8 series looks pretty nuts. Mercedes, although not visually groundbreaking, are looking pretty again. VAG, yes, becoming quite anonymous. When there's the likes of KIA starting to look very similar you have to be worried.
