Yup, I find Audi's styling very conservative. I find Volvo's more interesting than Audi  :smiley:

Just looks like an A4 front to me. I suppose conservative as ever VAG didn't want to mess with a sucessful forumla.

The A3 rear looks bland, especially compared to the GTI.

The GTI is a design classic, IMO, just like the first TT Roadster.

No hairdresser jokes please!

100% right on TT Roadster being design classic, shame they couldn't have designed the chassis any better or considered the overweight problem the car inherited from the classic design!
