New Audi A3 Sedan & S3 Sedan Previewed..Nothing New To See Here. Move Along

This folks is the all new, fabulously styled Audi A3 Sedan.

Errr.... No. Sorry, wrong picture. This is an A4. Sorry folks.


This is the all-new, fabulously styled, (i.e the same as any other Audi sedan out there in the market today).

And with that concludes my report on the all new, yet looks the same as ever new Audi Sedan. The red one is the cooking S3 variant while the white one pictured after that is the bread and butter A3 sedan. Nothing to really shout about folks. Move along. Scoot scoot.


Oh okay. If you really want me to blabber on more about what I really think. I think it looks like a slightly shrunken (overall length 4456mm A3 vs 4586mm A4 B7, wheelbase 2637mm A3 vs 2648mm A4 B7), slightly updated Audi A4 B7 from 2005-2008 (pictured below) that has new LED lights, larger wheels and slight changes here and there. Note the similar roof line.

There is too much Audi Corporate Look but no proper differentiation between models. This is worse than Porsche and its 911 over the years. At least you wouldn't be confused between a Cayman and a 911. But you may actually be confused over an A4 and an A6 or an a8. Unless you're a real anorak of an Audi fan.

I think Audi is currently suffering from designer's block or something like that. Or not having someone who can reinterpret Walter De Silva's original Audi design specs without being too repetitive. They need somelike Peter Schreyer back in its fold. He's doing such a sweel job designing Kias. You know its the same designer but you can tell the actual differences between its models. So again. Move along folks. Nothing new here. Nothing new at all.
