This one? http://audiusa.com/common/images/200...a8sedan_lg.jpg

That looks awful. I liked the looks of the previous A8, even though I'd
never buy one even if I had the money. What is the general consensus of
the new grill among Audi fans?

Also, I have to ask..are they or their parent company publicly traded on
any of the US exchanges?

I wonder if this styling is in response to the new laws in Europe that were
passed to make car/pedestrian crashes less traumatic for the pedestrian?
Any way you look at it, it is ugly.
