I'm shocked how much power you guy's put on a sketch! The Spy pics still look very sporty, you'll see in a couple of hour's!

I'm going to be logging on to the Audi press site as soon as it is made official to download high resolution images, and then we can make our minds up.

2008 Audi A4 breaks cover
Images of Audi’s next-gen A4 sedan have turned up on Dutch forum AutoWeek.nl (the post has since been removed), less than two weeks ahead of the car’s debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. As the image reveals, the new A4’s styling draws heavily from the larger A5 coupe and could pass as a four-door variant of the recently launched coupe.
The car measures in at 4.7m long and 1.83m wide. Under the new sheet-metal is Audi’s latest Modular Design Platform, which means the new B8 A4 should have better handling characteristics than the outgoing version thanks to improved weight distribution.
The new petrol engine lineup will start with a 1.8L TFSI developing 160hp and top out with a 260hp 3.2L V6 FSI rounding up the range. The TDI diesel range kicks off with a 140hp 2.0L, followed by a 190hp 2.7L V6 and a 3.0L V6 churning out 240hp and 500Nm (369lb-ft) of torque.

I'll reserve judgement until the official pics and press release are given, because it looks very bland in the above pic. I'm hoping for something a little more exciting.

I am hoping for the same as well, but the basic design element isn't very exciting, maybe if I see one in real life, then I might change my judgement.

The red car is the real thing, get use to it. Doesn't really look like too big an improvement over the B7, and the rear looks glued on directly from the A5. I don't think the A4 has ever been revolutionized design wise since the B5, so I don't mind this design at all. We'll have to wait for more pics to get better perspective. I'm a little sketch on how much of a dynamic improvement this car will be over the current model, if the A5 is any guide(a slightly more narrow track will not be enough, IMO).

the new A4 screams old S4 all over the car

Will have to wait for more pics but from this one pic, one word sums it up - bland.
