Is the latest craze to emblazon the manufactures name on the rear end, Audi just decided to do the front
Audi = or ≠ AUDI?
AUDI E Concept Noticed something unusual with this new concept from Audi? The grill (or rather the lack of one), it headlights, taillights on the rear bumper, or yah you get it, the missing 4 rings. If I tell you this is NOT an Audi, I believe one of the very first thing that pops up in your mind...

I'm all for changing cars looks. One day I'll like one of them
I hated the Kona front with the off centre charging flap.. then I bought one! Sometimes these car looks grow on me.I'm an compact SUV convert, since I'm tall I prefer a car higher up as it's easier to get in/out of.

Yeh.. Honestly it looks kind of awkward. A logo/badge looks far better....and if that is their new logo then...lol.

so have Audi outside of China for now at least. My brother in law is handing in his hybrid audi in a month or sos time. i will be interested to see what he gets next but if its an audi again i expect it will still be a proper looking one!.

I don't get it on the new Model 3 vs the old one just having the "T" in the middle (like mine has). Latter looks cleaner as there is nothing else on the boot. Worst I have seen though is owners of the old ones adding the letters from the new one... why?!
Maybe I am in the minority on that one but *shrugs*.
Apparently that top part of the boot is plastic and replaceable on its own.
The current boot lid meant to be source of a disproportionate number of insurance claims from people opening the boot onto a low roof or rear end damage. The lip on the top sticks out further than the bumper and if it gets any damage to the lip, the whole lot is replaced.

ergh I agree about the rear end it's the 1st time I have seen the back of the refresh. shame as the front is a massive improvement looks wise imo
Yeah, the front looks pretty cool.
It's still a fugly car but at least it doesn't look quite as much like a Model S that got divorced and spent a year doing nothing with its evenings but eating Pukka Pies and crying into a six-pack of beer in its underwear.
Hopefully it will sell miserably.
Still won't touch a Tesla with a bargepole so makes 0 difference to me but if they do a similar job with the Y as the 3 then I think overall it'll be an improvement. The newer headlights and DRLs alone make a huge difference to how smart they look imo
I really like the new Model 3, the changes to the lights really sharpened it up, and I think Tesla written across the back looks good (not always the case). The car itself is much better in terms of quality too.
The new Model Y isn’t bad, but I think the front looks like the logo has fallen off… perhaps not a bad thing these days!

Same. If/when I get my future second hand Porsche I want it to be the ultimate sleeper car. Those can have the black letters and the model badge can be removed which I think looks awesome.
On the topic of naff branding how long will it be until light up badges become a thing of the past. They all look awful!
They always remind me of the masks people used to fit to their third brake lights in the mid nineties Max Power style. Yes mate, we know it's a Focus, you don't need a light spelling it out

Most letters or badges can be removed with a hairdryer and floss, you can certainly order a audi without badges as well.
Some people say my butt looks terrible but personally I can't see it myself - boom boom.
I'll get my coat...
Quite like them myself, the light up grilles can get in the bin thoughOn the topic of naff branding how long will it be until light up badges become a thing of the past. They all look awful!
