Great looking except the nose. Sorry Audi, but that corporate grill is just butt ugly. Such a beautiful exterior, so sleek with terrific lines. And then that grill.
Somebody could probably have a business retrofitting Audi front ends to thier previous tasteful grill. They are all incredibly bad looking.
Gorgeous inside and out. Don't see the Bimmer connection for the interior - Bimmer interiors have become far too austere for my tastes. Still love Audi interiors. As exteriors go, this one is a home run. The new A8 is a step in the wrong direction... I'd rather have this car by a long shot.
Sort of reminds me of an Oldsmobile Aurora from the 90's. In fact, it looks like it would be a nice Oldsmobile if it still existed today, possibly a Toronado.
I don't know, it just screams Oldsmobile to me, like the first Toronado from the late 60's.

This one is no exception.

BTW: it's just an observation. You Audi fan-boys: relax in advance. I can hear you retorts already.
The comparisons I suggested are just strickly similar.

The interior looks very Bimmer(ish) now.

This is, by far, the BEST looking sedan (inside and out) I've ever seen.
CLS? 535/550GT? Rapide? The coherence and proportions of this design surpasses all of those, by a wide margin.
IMHO, of course. ;-)
