I'm confident that it's not a B6 ownership-inspired bias that leads me
to my conclusion about the new design. As I feel exactly the same way about
the new A6 -- a model I've never owned in any iteration. And, generally
speaking, I'm not a person who must always have the "better" possession.
IMO, this new design, like that of the new A6, simply lacks the grace
and elegance of a car purporting to be a European luxury sports sedan. While
it certainly looks athletic enough, so do most Nissans and Mazdas. And I'm
afraid that if one were to slap a Nissan or Mazda badge on this "new &
improved" A4, few people would question it's origin. Because, aside from the
ghastly grill, this A4 has the appearance of a mainstream Japanese car -- in
fact, it merely looks like a late-90's Mazda 626 with added bulk.

To be fair, I think your commenting on something that can only be felt in
the flesh. I used to think the Mazda RX8 was a lovely looking TT beater
until I seen/sat in one at the motor show, my feelings for it just went down
hill there on.

Whats a 2005 TT, I thought we were in 2004, this would make it 2004 TT, or
am I missing somthing?
If you bought the car on Jan 1st 2005 and it was registered on that day then
you would have a 2005 car.
Is this some wierd american science?

It's a designation of "model year", as opposed to an actual year of
manufacture. Next year models generally appear about half way into the
current calendar year.
A 2005 model year may have different equipment, colors, and options
compared to a 2004 model year, even though both were manufactured in 2004.
It's a marketing tactic that's been used by auto makers for years, at least
in the US.

Pete

Fair enough. Pictures, stat sheets and the like don't always jibe
perfectly with in-the-flesh reality. Similar to your earlier sentiments
about the RX-8, I was initially quite impressed with the Nissan 350Z. But
upon sitting in one, the highly "plasticky" interior curbed my enthusiasm --
as $30k+ (with options) cars should not remind one of cars costing half as
much.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm pretty excited!
