Replying to: merc1 (Aug 06, 2006 11:24 pm) Sure, glad to! Look at the categories above - I can add three more, do you want others there? (There isn't a specific E63 AMG category, only the E55.)

#990 of 1038 New logo look by vishnu3 Sep 16, 2006 (3:57 pm)
I have looked at the E class and A6 ... and would like to own my first Audi. The only thing that holds me back is to me the extremely ugly trapeze around the logo.   Does anyone know how for how long this will last? If the so called more aggressive logo will go away with these models, then I may go for a used 4.2 (circle version) and then buy a new one in a few years from now if it looks different. But if not ... can they change at least the wheel airbag with an older one, would that one fit?   Also, I would like some of your opinions too. (I now the new trapezoidal logo sort of 'grew on' many of the late model owners). I believe that changing a logo every few years weakens the impact and value of that logo - bimmer and MB are not doing this... Replies to this message: jzalkin (Sep 29, 2006 11:43 am)

#992 of 1038 I heard good things about the Dunlop M3s by w210 Sep 29, 2006 (11:32 am)

Replying to: vishnu3 (Sep 16, 2006 3:57 pm) Audi's logo has not changed - The rings are intact. A design element of the car has been made to be a signature element. It really is not that big a leap. I had an A4 Cab and the new face just connected the upper and lower grills which made it much more noticeable.   Eventually this signature design element will be refined and altered based on modernizing their design, but the rings will not change. Sort of like the Mercedes grill has altered over the years from a huge chrome piece to a more subtle opening on newer models.   I doubt it will go away, but I really think it will be used to give different models a slightly different feel based upon noticeable differences. Right know the grill looks basically the same on all their models (A3, A4, A6, A8).
#994 of 1038 S8 and S6 by scottphillip Oct 04, 2006 (11:36 am)
I am going to look at both this weekend. Has anyone driven these Audis? I am leaning towards the S8.

Replying to: merc1 (Oct 05, 2006 8:36 pm) Thanks M. It seems that he really likes his S8. I know I would too, but I am just scared of the depreciation. I don't know how long they will be "hot."   Congratulations on your new car M!!!
#997 of 1038 I bought the Audi S8 by scottphillip Oct 10, 2006 (9:30 am)
I took the plunge, and bought the Audi. I posted photos in my Car Space site I gave up a Range Rover Sport, which I really liked, so I hope that I have a positive experience with the Audi. ">
