Either 3 or 4 - it rather is as I had expected from Audi of their largest sedan, just a few tiny differences (not such a bad thing). That said, luckily it still looks good in general.

However, I don't like the little rear lip spoiler (it, er, spoils the clean lines of the bootlid), nor the grille with the double fins on the verticals. At first I thought it was camera blur.. but nope. It looks too busy. The rest is pretty ok - well, about all that's left is the brake vent/foglight area in the front bumper. In a way I'd almost rather have the nice clean lines of the normal A8's. But good nevertheless.

I gave it a 3, not a fan of what they did with the engine. The most impressive part to me was seeing the interior done in carbon fiber since I've lived with my dad's A8L for so long I know the panels pretty well.
