What's with the mass explosion of the word 'salty' lately? It's all over the Internet these last few months, can hardly recall seeing it before then.

I think it originated in the fighting game community, spread to MOBA players and then the rest of the internet.

FWIW, I actually think the LED indicators look pretty nice. Yeah it has a stupid marketing name but what doesn't these days.

It's identical though, so how can be be classy on one car and naff on another - albeit slightly smaller - car?

You've gone and forgotten Lexus rear lights on practically everything last decade?

How is this relevant to how Audi decide which models to add their new indicators?

I think he was getting at the fact that they look decent on a Lexus (IMO they don't, but anyway), but they look rubbish on Dave from the council estate's Rover 25.

Didn't they pinch this off the Ford Mustang? I'm sure I've seen similar on one of those.

seen them on other cars too, I think one of the Jaguars does it

I've noticed this, especially when the brake lights are on as well. The whole point of LEDs is they're brighter and you get that instant on-off flash, making them flash in sequence defies the point.

Probably because they think it cheapens the concept of it. Damn snobs if you ask me.

Yes exactly this. And I am a snob, I grew up in Winchester

Me too. I think they are much less "obvious" as they take longer to fully light up than a standard version would.

the A4 has grown to a fair sized car over the years when you compare the new one to the first A4.

I don't like the idea that they have replaced the mechanical handbrake with the electric one.. don't like this at all

wedrum · 20 Oct 2016 at 13:25

oh another audi, skoda any day of the week.

Why? The market has moved away from a handbrake lever.

I think the 3/4 series BMW still having one is ridiculous.
