Looks rather nice.

Didn't like the blades on the original but I like the subtle changes here.
 
Never been a fan but interior looks much better. Always felt prev model was cheap when it used TT seats and never really liked the overall styling
 
Its a nice tech and engine upgrade.... The outside looks too similar to the old... Seems be a trend with audi lately though.

Shame the interior isnt as nice as the new tt though... With the vents and the ac controls not integrated... Which in the mk3 TT looks and works really well.

not just audi... most manufacturers are too scared to change their styling language lately...

and not only that, all the models in many a range just look like scaled versions of the others, makes me sad to see lazy design.

This is so true... Most brands have the same platform across their range... Just dressed differently.

I guess it boils down to cost efficiency.

The Ac unit in my car looks the same as my friends passat, which is the same as the current R8 :lol:

I'll take 600+ hp over some nice integrated AC controls all week long. :D

Looks good, Seems to need that wing on the rear though, to hide the long roof line at the back, which is odd. Would need to see one in the flesh to give it full marks. The Mk 1 looked awful, from some angles, in pictures. But I could never find bad angle when looking at one in front of me. :thumbsup:
 
As above will wait till I see one in the flesh I love the R8 looks odd in pics as said but every time I see one I just stop and stare especially the V8 great soundtrack so low and wide but if I could afford one I would have to sort the interior way to fussy
 
personally I Think it looks hideous, way too angletastic. Reminds me of an angular version of this:

which in itself isnt a bad thing but not sure it's a good look for a supercar
