Another pic of the next Audi TT

this pic is one of many versions floating around. This is the only version that has been Bangle-ized. I hope Audi does not ruin the beautiful new TT with ugly BMW styling.

I questioned the new front end adopted by Audi at first, but now I love it. It's funny how car companies like MB, BMW, and Audi are called too conservative and boring in their styling, yet when they spice up their offerings they are criticized. In my opinion, most drastic changes that are adopted by vehicles of a specific brand end up being seen as attractive after the shock wears off. I don't see flame surfacing on this picture. What I see is a smaller "waist" contoured in the middle of the car to visually make the wheels look more aggressive and more prominent than they already are. The width widens towards the bottom of the car to visually give the car more substance. I like this effect and the way the arch of the wider section matches the arch of the roof of the cabin. Good design can't always be decided by someone saying a car is pretty. Good design is in the details, and Audi does this well.
Before anyone rips my comment to shreads on this message board, I want to stress that all of the above are only my opinions. I'm not trying to come across as an expert or act as though my opinions are the only correct opinions. I just get so tired of reading the bashing on here between the readers.
