I like the concept and engineering, but if that is the result, I'll pass. It isn't a front-trak A4. Paint the lower body panels at least. Maybe the full production model will look better.

Apart from the plastic panels, I like the car better than the Gallardo. Never was a fan of the G's styling (puts virtual nomex suit on)

Lots of opinions on a pre-release version..... I'm sure audi will have a little more flare on the production model... there isn't even an audi symbol on that one. They were probably trying... "TRYING" to keep it low key.

If it costs less then the Gallardo, then it'll make one hell of an entry level super-car (if there is such a thing).

You guys are missing the point. This is Audi's new Halo car. Obviously, if you got means to buy this car, you should be able to pick up the lambo as well.
If I was this wealthy, I'd personally go for F430 but that is just me.

which it probably will....from the rumors I heard it will be around the 100k mark. That's a TON of car for that money.
