michael Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Driving home tonight I couldn't help admiring the styling of the new 3 series coupe, then I saw an Audi A5 and liked that too, can I be rescued from these impure thoughts or are they acceptable enough? http://www.eurocarblog.com/uploads/bmw_3_series_coupe_e92_02.jpg http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimages/109116/a5.Par.0005.Image.jpg Had an A5 follow me at dusk the other week, those LED side lights look very odd / cool in the mirror. (I haven't hunted out pictures of the nicest examples, just two generic pics to add colour to the thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I like them too, i think you can be saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I try to hate the BMW because it's just that...a BMW. Doesn't look bad though, although i definitely prefer the Audi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Doesn't look bad though, although i definitely prefer the Audi. Both of them look much nicer in the flesh, I can't really find any pics that do them justice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Nowt wrong with admiring other attractively styled, well designed cars, rare as they are. Saw my first R8 today, in black...very nice I think. I'm liking the new Lexus 200 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 The R8 looks evil. I like the Audi style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Haggas Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Really not acceptable Michael,reverse the process and look at something a bit more flamboyant.Thats why I just got a Plymouth Prowler,in purple!! I think mine is mid-life crisis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I have always loved audi's (apart from a crappy 1.8t a3 I once drove). If I had a straight choice today between my aristo and an RS6 estate and someone else paid my running costs I'd swap tomorrow. I was as a 20's male a devout BMW fan with audi in reserve (at the time a more affordable option) Now I am firmly in the audi camp. That said I see some Mercs about that I don't dislike as well. Maybe its a part of getting old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I saw a 3 series tonight, and thought how common, the styling just seems to blend in with everything else, I'm just biased towards the E36 though which is still one of my favourites....

Heh giggle giggle I saw a new M3 tonight. Belgian numpety that thought it was amusing to tailgate the car in front of him in a less than a foot manner. Didn't seem too pleased to see the car behind him sail past him with the greatest of ease. Also didn't seem too happy when I pulled back over and slowed down for what I thought was a speed trap and after giving him over 100 metres caught him up re-overtook him then did a spectacular U'y back onto the other side of the dual carriageway That is BTW allowed on European roads where there is a tarmacced break in the central reservation.

tbourner Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I love the A5, the new 3 is OK, but I prefer the Merc CLS (although much bigger). I've seen an R8, the guy test driving it stalled at the lights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_blackman Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The latest Audi's have been very nice They all have menacing front end looks, i love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah quite like the A5... RS5 would be better though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I saw an S5 in West London the other day, looked really nice, V8 too. The Bimmer is nice too, but in a subtle way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I had a dream the other night in which an enormous Audi pick-up was trying to mow down a crowd of Sci-Fi fans at a convention. I'm not weird. Honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I prefere the A5 - Stunning IMO. As said above the RS5 will be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Just had a rep to see me, he has the new Mondeo. I hate to say it but its a very nice looking car. The front end especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
