I quite like the rear but the boat is just plain fugly!

its just a real bad mix of old and new

Ah they're not so bad, let the price go down for 20 years and I'll probably buy one

Sometimes new technology does not look "nice" but it is nice to drive

I love it, I hope it goes into production and I hope they don't alter it. I also hope they make it at a viable price and in sufficient quantities that they appear on the second hand market in similar numbers to Ur's. It'd been easy for Audi to have just done a 'Ford GT' job on it. But they've made a car that's a 2010 evolution of the 1980 car, not a 'retro' trip.

I'd have one.

really like the front end, but the rear end looks a little messy. Rear wheels seem tucked too much under the arch, and the rear end needs a little altering if you ask me to clean it up.

No mention of the engine but given earlier reports I'm guessing it's the 2.5 5 pot turbo motor as used in the TTRS and the new RS3 so it won't be a slouch and probably handles superbly.
