Yep the audi 80 cabriolet and coupe were stunning awesome.

There was a article somewhere of the greatest car designs ever and the audi 80 ranked very highly, and said that to this day it still looks great and has aged well compared to equal bmw's and mercedes.

They also mentioned that it had great aerodynamics

I think even whatcar.com has said that the audi 80 easily surpassed the styling of the same gen merc and bmw. I just have trouble finding the articles and that certain picture of the audi 80!

I have a 135i on order, and after seeing the pics in post #38, I have changed the color to Alpine White... just in time. Much thanks! I think it looks terrific!

Re: Autobild: BMW 135i vs Audi S3 vs Golf R32 DSG

I had it ordered in Sedona Red, but then I saw the actual car in that color at an auto show... thankfully... because it's a nasty red in real life, nothing like the website. I expected it to be bright, but it is very dull, even with the metallic. It's a muddy red. The BMW reps weren't all that happy about the Sedona Red either. Some may like it, and that's fine of course, but it's not for me. I almost went with silver, but it's just too safe and too common at this point for me, as I've had many silver cars over the years. It's been twenty years since I owned a white car... so it's long overdue, and the 135i seems like a good candidate to go for the Alpine White... especially after seeing those pics!!

Tagman, I read that you changed your order to Crimson red and beige leather interior and to a Convertible instead of a white Coupé.
