I think I like the 2011 headlights better. The new design looks a little gimmicky.

i’d be willing to predict that the 2011 Rs5 becomes a classic. I know in 20 years if i’m in the market, i’ll certainly prefer that over this 2012 model.

“You may also notice that all images include only one lower foglamp,” “…simply an oversight that was not intended to be seen on a production model.”

That’s not a fog light it’s either adaptive cruise control an/or sensors to read the road/signs, e.g. lane departure etc. – or both.

The new headlights nearly ruin this.

This a highly desirable, still-sexy car, and HELL YES I WANT ONE, but the older front end was far more attractive and sophisticated.

It’s still damn good, but it’s no longer what I’d call beautiful. The previous design was 100% perfect.

I haven’t said this about any Audi in a long time, but I don’t like the headlights. If they wanted to have the headlights go diagonally upward toward the grille, they could have left the rest of the headlight rectangular instead.

The A/S/RS 5 was such a beautiful car before. Although most of the car is still pretty, the front now looks a little ricer-ish.

Not crazy about the color or the wheels but it’s a CGI reveal so… This is it drivetrain:http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6078/6126514955_b26c4966df_b.jpg Power/Drivetrain link. Doesn’t look anything like a FWD based powertrain to me… yet some still insist…
