I totally agree with Sunny.. IMO the design is a step backwards after the R8 and the TT.. The wavy shoulder line doesn't do it at all.. maybe I have to see in real life first..won't take long till I do. The front is totally ruined by the hideous contra-directioned air intakes.. the whole car looks like it's been design by an external studio which was trying with all violence to use Audi's design elements on a body with a very different form language..

I'm very excited to see what Wolfgang Egger is going to do to Audi's design, becase if the Q5 id going to look like this, I think Audi needs some help.. never thought I'd ever say something like that
Haha, it is funny you should mention the hideous air intakes, that is one of the first thing that stuck me. The outer edge curves up in a very generic character less way, while the inner edge is straight but a very odd angle with the Audi grill and to top it all off they couldn't even center the fog lamps properly with it jutting ever so slightly into the body work above - if it was was really their intention to keep it asymmetric, that is fine, but do it in a way that it looks like a design feature and not a manufacturing flaw! I really didn't expect such shoddy work from Audi.
