I'm really sick & tired of Audi's unimaginative designs. Yes, their designs are nice & beautiful, but ... too similar across the model line. Finally they made a car that's a bit distinctive (=A5 with specific tail lights, wavy character line etc), yet the next car coming out (A3 cabrio) is already wearing some same design elements (tail lights).

New A4 better come with different tail light design! If coming with same design (mind that also A6 is probably getting identical cluster design) that would be just too much!

Really ... Imagine having several Audi's at home. Would you like to drive differently sized clones? Like I said last time: I guess Audi are so satisfied with current design of core models (excl. TT & R8!), they are afraid to change it much. Yet this what they are doing lately is just absurd. Nation of the clones!

C'mon, Audi. Wake up!

Thumbs down Re: Audi A3 Cabrio (Info, spy pics & impressions) - 08-20-2007, 05:56 AM

A5 tail lights on the new A3? Thumb down. That's really lazy and boring from Audi's side. Very coward behavior.

I'm slightly disappointed with this. I was hoping for something more that made this car stand out from the rest. I don't think this will be the final product and the new A3 Cabrio will look different to what we have seen so far. I'm planning to but a soft top next year and this was on my short list but it will have to be more inspiring that this.

So you'd like Audi to stick them on every possible model (excl. TT, R8 & Q7)? I for one really hope it's just A5 and A3 Cabrio, not other models...

Be sure A5 cabrio will also feature same tail lights.

Also: Huckfeldt portrayed facelifted / next A6 & upcoming Q5 with same A5-ish tail lights.

I'm affraid Audi is shifting from reversed-L-shaped tail lights (A3 Sportback, A4, A6 Avant, Q7) to the shape seen on A5.

If A4 came with A5-ish clusters as well, I'd scream!

A5 of course includes the Cabrio. But yes, I'm also very concerned about those Huckfeld impressions of the A6 facelift.
