Touchy, Touchy, Touchy ...
I meant no insult to anyone. I would never insult anyone who loves Audis as much as I do. I apologize to anyone who thought I was insulting them. I was merely expressing my opinion that I didn't like to be in a position where I had to convince myself to love the styling... I thought the styling should grab me immediately, not have to be something I had to work at. By the way, I recently saw a Silver A6 in the new style and I have to agree with an earlier post that it actually looks pretty darn good in that color -- somehow it just works very well together in Silver. Anyway, there's no use wasting time sniping at each other -- get out and Drive!

I really like it. I think it took a little while to get used to but it gives
the car some character or makes it more noticeable. Ken -- "Now Phoebe Snow direct can go from thirty-third to Buffalo.

Are you kidding? Have you looked at the new G, M and R series? They compete with the Audi Q7 and Subaru B9 Tribeca for the title of ugliest vehicles on this planet. dk |
