I think the LEDs look great on other Audis like the A4. I'm sure if you solicit some female opinions her/they would agree. The A4 tail lights use LEDs also, though they're red not clear. The base A4 (Premium trim) does not come with LED daytime running lights though. Not a fan of the sharp angles of the LED lights on the new A8 because they don't seem to harmonize with the conservative design of the rest of the car.

I think it's sad how much thought/effort/money is sunk into the automotive industry, and not even 5% of the cars on the road are attractive, well built, and non-money pits.

I will be purchasing in the next 1-2 years and have started paying attention to the newest iterations, only to be very disappointed. They are almost all total vanilla.

Exactly my thoughts. What Audi really needs isn´t another undistinctive, gimmicky car in their lineup, but improved reliability.

that was disappointing, i actually liked the previous body style. can't say the same about this one...also can't imagine buying one of these over an s550 but i suppose its just a matter of taste.

It's been mentioned, but those front lights on Audis are getting reeeeeeeally cloying.

The LED lights are an option thank goodness the standard ones look much more normal.

They looked really cool at first, but not so much anymore.

will be installed on the 2011 models. Allows for Google Earth mapping. Pretty cool technologically speaking.

Somehow, I cannot really apprecite the "autotelic" LEDs in the headlights.
On the other hand, in A8 they at least look to be professionaly built, unlike in A4/ A6 where they look like from a DIY store...
