Have to agree with you. I own a 2001 A4 and like it better (inside and
outside) then the new A4. I've tried, but still don't like the wide grill
(maybe it reminds me of Chrysler) and the plastic license plate frame
mounting that goes across it. Also, the rear lights look very plain.
PS - Anyone know if the 2007 will include outside style changes?

I don't like it, but I'm still buying an A3. I plan to minimize the
fishmouth by painting the chrome "frame" and the cross bar body color
(black)
You can see an animated example here:

Fortunately, my state doesn't require a front plate.

Nice picture ... it does look a lot better without the chrome emphasis.
