Don't you think the whole rear 3/4 view is similar to the 3-Series Coupé?

Still, I'd hit it. Awaiting technical details...

yup its a 3 series from the rear. audis do have their own distinct style but now theyve become too similar. overall i like it especially the interior

When the page loaded, the fourth pic caught my attention and then I thought: "This is a BMW 3-series coupe". Well, it just is! But with some smoother lines here and there. I'm not saying the final result is bad... I think I like it...

wow that looks good

[NSXType-R]

Yes, that does look good. Quick question- is it going to be RWD or Quattro or FWD?

Making it Quattro could make it too heavy, FWD exists on the TT, so it could end up on this, but RWD sounds like it could make it into this big coupe.

audi dont do rwd, im guessing entry level fwd and 4wd for other models, like the a4

Finally. I've been waiting on this car since they stopped making the coupe. 11 damn years. The TT isn't really a direct rival to the BMW 3-series coupe and Audi lost a major amount of sales to the 3-coupe since they stopped making a coupe. I hope it'll have the 60:40 split similar to the RS4. Even I agree Audi's tend to understeer but that new system really helps. Awaiting more detail.
EDIT: I see a 3.0tdi quattro badge, that sounds promising indeed.

It doesn't look bad, but I find it hard to believe that this is the car that made the bigwigs at Audi cry at it's beauty during pre-release screening.

If that's what they did when they laid eyes on this, they're probably still sobbing at the thought of an 8C.

lol, deja vu from MSN a few weeks ago.

This car is MUCH nicer than the 3 Series Coupe, and considering the 3er Coupe is one of very few BMWs i like, thats not bad, but they are continuing fine form with another stunner.
Hopefully it'll be as good to drive as recent Audis

EDIT: after more inspection, the only thing i don't like about it is the rear lights, but i used to hate the Q7 lights and now i love them, so... Waiting to see this lil beast in the metal
