[QUOTE=Chernaudi;954547]Only thing I don't get is the all-LED head lamps. Hopefully the A6 will come with xenon/LED hybrid versions like the NA spec Audi A8 have as an option.QUOTE]
LED headlamps are Audi's thing, though. They were the first one to do it, afaik, and it's one of their main styling cues.
I really like the direction Audi is going with their new cars (especially the A5). They're not as stylistically or mechanically offensive as I would want my $50k+ sports/luxury car to be. But other than that, I think they're quite handsome and I really can't say anything bad about the styling.

I would say that's a good thing these days.
Shame about the grille and stupid mechanical layout.

for the bean counters, yes.

I don't mind the grille actually - much more sculptural. The whole car is definitely a variation on the familiar theme though.
The severe rear end is Volvoesque though.

I'd say there's a place for lunacy and a place for boredom.
And both can be equally good.
The worst thing that can happen is when one tries to be the other.

that looks a bit black and white to me. I think I would have appreciated the Audi more if it had hydropneumatic suspension....(just as an example).

But that's the thing precisely.
I like Citroëns (and Saabs, and Lancias,...). I like cars that are bonkers, preposterous, creative, brilliant, great.
But I like BMWs and Mercs too. I like cars that are well engineered, precise, fast, subtle and discreet.
Each of these types of cars have a place, as long as they are interesting, in my opinion. However these days, with cromey and glittery Benzes and art-noveau Bimmers, where do you go to get the second type of car?

the second hand market?

No...! You might end up with an Audi anyway!

I was more thinking of an Austin Allegro...

Not particularly intersting is it. Audi pulled off the understated excellence styling twice in recent years for me: A5 and R8. Too close to boring now

Premonitory words, as it turns out.
Anyway...
Audi A6 Avant #11
