Oh I completely agree they all look the same, said the very thing a while back on this very forum.  They're far from the ugliest though.  Fiat multipla comes to mind... Prius, juke, jag s-type, Toyota Camry... So many much much worse cars.


Not really current cars though are they apart from the Juke?

Do we really think Audis are the worst though? There are so many (current) cars on the road that look much worse, I don't even know what half of them are.  I suspect Peugeot and Citroen are the main offenders.

No don't think so, I don't know anybody who likes the look of an Audi, the all look the same, you can hardly tell one from the other. And that grill is horrible, just my opinion i much prefer vw. I had a vw cc and Audi a4 and the cc was ten times better looking inside and out.

Agree with you almost 100%, though I do think the R8 and A5 look nice........but overall yes bland.  VW much more  :cool:

I was suckered into vw so called modern cars quality. After a successful 8 years of reliable rattle free SEAT GTIs/cupras I went upmarket and got suckered by the mk5(then spent 5 years trading advice with redrobin on tyresmoke fixing and advicing others on how to fix all the rattles, issues, and preventative measures against rusting sills, bootlids, wings etc) then foolishly stupidly the idiot i am fell for it again and got the mk6 and started the poor build and the vwuk order and diabolical service and shocking poor rubbish dealers all over again.....
My father ran Audis for over 25 years without issues I really wish I could say the same about modern VWs. I would really really like to but modern VW I have found poor especially from an engineering point of view were as my mk1 has been fantastic over the past 22 years.
Audis maybe poor but there built to a higher build cost than vw because they are allowed a higher project cost. Vw is just a cut price Audi. VW is an Audi with cost cutting.

Worst how? If you mean their cars having a "Corporate face" then yes i think Audi are the worst for it, VW are going down that route but imo you can still (just) tell the difference between them, i prefer VW over Audi as i struggle with the rep mobile image but i have considered them over the VW equivalent.

Looking at past mk5 and mk6 GTI owners over the past 8 years a large percentage of them were company cars.
Its about time the cars were labelled as such like some hire cars are :wink:

I'm not sure what the objection here is now.  If it is that Audis all look so similar then I agree, but surely Peugeot with all their cars looking like a fish with a gum shield from the front is far worse?  If the objection is that Audi is simply the ugliest then I think not, they don't look ugly as such just unremarkable.  If anything VW have a lot to answer for in this area too!

Far from the ugliest, unremarkable is a good description.
