STUD or DUD? Does The Massive 'QUATTRO' Grill Lettering Do It For You? Should It Show Up On More Audi's?

When we saw the first shot of the Audi A3 Clubsport Concept Quattro we couldn't help but think that the massive Quattro grill lettering would either be a love it or hate it addition.

So we thought we'd ask YOU, the experts if it gives you a rise in Levi's or do you think it cheapens the look?

Should it make its appearance on more Audi's? Say on ALL S-Line and Sport editions?

What say you Spies?

Audi A3 Clubsport Concept Quattro

It is based on a S3 sedan was pretty fluffed up, so 21-inch wheels fit under the body and carries a modified 2.5-liter five-cylinder TFSI under the hood. The direct injection engine is well out of the last RS3, the known RS Q3 and the TT RS, was among other things a larger charger (up to 1.5 bar boost pressure) and a corresponding charge air cooler. The result: 525 hp and a maximum torque of 600 Nm, which is available from 2300 rpm, and managed by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is.

The article link is screwed up (unless you intended it to go to Google translate, which seems odd).

Love it on the performance oriented versions (RS#), but it should not show up on the more conservatively styled A# versions. Probably not even on S#

The huge "quattro" looks DUMB. The Audi logo should float there instead of being on the hood which looks like a cheesy afterthought.

I think the 'Quattro' lettering on the grille is aggressive and unique. It should only be reserved for RS models though to maintain is exclusivity.

Lol...uh...no...not on the front grille...that's just silly looking. People will think that is the name of the car, and not one of its features.

And, yes...why all the Audi articles. It's not like there is anything innovative going on with them.

It looks cheapo and adolescent. It screams "Pep-Boys" or "Auto-Zone"

NEVER liked the Audi front end. Hideous and it kills any desire to buy an Audi.

If they are going to put that giant logo there, they ought to write it mirror image like on an ambulance so other drivers can read it in their rear view mirrors.

The next move will be to write it out on the upper strip of the windshield.

I think it's a bit silly, even on the RS models.

These vehicles should be sleepers, not calling out what's really going on here. Although I know the SoCal crowd wants to do its best to keep up with the Kardashians, some of us do like discretion from the factory.

Let the aftermarket vendors do what they do best, IMHO.

Has there been some sort of global mandate issued forcing all automakers to have a trapezoidal grille? I guess BMW is next.
