YAWN.

I swear...cars this boring should be illegal. Where are the midsize luxury sedans that are exciting? Audi's are becoming as predicatable as Infiniti, Lexus and BMW.

I for one like the clean, organic styling of the Infiniti M.

I personally want Audi to sell the A6 allroad over here again.

sure it's conservative, but is the 5-series, E-series or CTS really groudbreaking? CTS pushes the envelope a little, but this is a relatively conservative segment.

I am sure the RS6 will look sweet just like the AMG, M5 and CTS-V do.

This is a very well proportioned AWD executive sedan. Not my cup of tea, but I like it.

The CTS is pretty flashy. The Germans are conservative, though. Safe designs. The Art & Science is daring and super aggressive.

Another look alike blandmobile with plain austere sides and looks that are common with other cars in the lineup namely the A4 and A8 which all now look like the same car in different sizes. Just goes to show how design talent and originality are truly a thing of the past.

Im afraid I have to disagree with you. I think the CTS II looks much more refined. But this is only my personal opinion. (if we agree that the CTS is in the same league of course)

On the other matters I agree with you. The only Audi i like is the R8. Period.
Nothing comes close lately. As i mentioned i PASSED this car without noticing. Only after a few seconds later I stepped on the brakes to see what kind of Audi was that. It had no A6 on it, but it looked like something between an A7, A8 and A4 with a terrible rear design. It reminded me to their SUV. Q5 or whatever.

Sorry Andonis, I'll have to disagree with you on the CTS II, as you've termed it. I liked the CTS II much better against the last generation 5 series, the one with eye lashes, but the updated 5 series in my mind is best in class right now for design.

Do get me wrong, I LOVE the CTS but there are some design/styling cues that could be refined to make it look more complete/symetrical. The current 5 series hits the mark for me.

As they say, design is subjective. So to each their own. I always find it cool/interesting that one design could insprie/attract one person and repel another at the same time; not talking about this instance/discussion but just in general.

As for the rest of the lineup, I do like their styling overall. This is, perhaps, the only car in their lineup I don't like right now. Everything else, I love from Audi.

Maybe cuz you have seen far more CTSs in your life. I have only seen 2 sofar:eek:. But BMWs...everywhere i look. New 5, tuned 5, Schnitzer 5, Lumma 5, Alpina 5...you name it. Same with Audis.

Of course this is very subjective, you might be right, but still I dig the CTS II more. But Audis...sorry but i just cant imagine something more boring right now. Seriously.

How many of us could easily pass one not noticing BEFORE it was revealed?
Same happened with the A7. Saw it a few months earlier and i was just...ok so this is the 7. Didnt even turn back.

But im sure many people will buy it, the interior is far better than the ext.

I can barely tell the difference from an A4 A6 and A8. Whenever i see one (and thats many dozen daily) i just figure it out by the SIZE! Not the design.
