Mercedes is losing its way as a beacon of conservative class in its efforts to capture the money of basketball-Americans

Not sure what to think of Audi's new flagship. They've always been really clean and a bit sterile, but this is getting a bit too close to the Model 3's "minimalism" for comfort.

they've fucked with the styling too, albeit I guess I like it way more than the s-class. historically they've been the only german brand to live up to the praise, and I say this as someone who hates VAG, but audi had pristine shit inside

>mercedes trying to get dat sweet new money rapper money
>bmw trying to get dat sweet chinese market money

this will only serve to bite them in the ass in the long run IMHO

Is it gonna kill BMW this time?

Their interiors have always been among the best, at times even surpassing Mercedes.
And yeah, it's a shame what they did with the exterior styling. Their entire last gen looked fucking great, somehow discreet without being bland, even if their lineup suffered quite a bit from arr rook same syndrome.

>always liked the a5
>the new one looks like a chinese copy

wat le fug

Right? It's like they didn't know what to do so they just went "fuck it, just make the grille bigger!"

Not too much plastic here. What kills it is the old-people column shifter

it's the headlights that threw me off the most. I didn't realize but the reason why audi always had that nice discreet look without being bland was the headlight design, it just somehow accentuated the rest of the car

the r8 suffered too, imho. it was always kinda unique but not standing out that much supercar now it feels super generic
