Re: "The new A3 isn't so bad"

Okay, Peterloplop, I'll have to agree with you, somewhat, on that nose treatment of the A3. Not nearly as bad as the more widely-used version, as you show on the A8, but still a little snoutish for me. Just give Audi some time, though, and I'm afraid even their little one will get a stronger dose of ugly.
To my eye, the 7-Series is just about the most awful-looking thing on the road today, giving even the sorry Pontiac Aztek a run for the money for Numero Uno in the category of Most Horrific Styling. GM has always gone after the bottom-of-the barrel auto crowd (no offense, GM fans). BMW is perhaps picking up a whole new customer base to replace the traditional fans who wouldn't be caught dead behind the wheel of one of the current models. As one writer here in the U.S. surmised, probably correctly, BMW seems to have gone after the market consisting of people with lots of money but little enthusiasm for the BMW heritage of The Ultimate Driving Machine. What a shame.
Pictured is the beautiful Pontiak Aztek. They couldn't even dignify it with the proper spelling.
