I actually like the new design direction. Everything is better than their current copy-and-paste design. Looks futuristic. Sadly Audi will not have the balls to build something like this because of their fear to loose their current target customers with new, actually inspiring design. Which is why this will somehow turn into a bland, boring fwd roadster for the usual Audi-buying machos.
If you don't like the hybrid thing, you're not alone. But then, you can be very sure that the hybrid system won't make it to serial production.
