Did Audi drop the ball with the new S6 Etron design?

Hey everyone… I just got a look at the new S6 Etron and honestly, I feel like Audi really dropped the ball with their new styling. It’s super disappointing. Anyone else feel the same way? What do you all think about the design? :confused:

Totally agree… the front end looks so weird now. Like, what were they thinking?

Right? I miss the old aggressive look… this one just doesn’t have the same vibe.

Yeah, I was expecting something a bit more sporty. IDK, maybe they’re trying to go for a more eco-friendly look?

@Fallon
Eco-friendly is cool and all, but not at the cost of style, you know? What do you mean by ‘eco-friendly look’ though?

Just that it seems more rounded and less aggressive… like they’re focusing on being sleek rather than sporty.

I don’t get the hate… I think it looks futuristic, but I guess it’s not for everyone. What’s wrong with it?

It just doesn’t have that classic Audi feel… feels too much like a regular sedan now.

@Mai
Yeah, I can see that. I liked how they used to stand out more. Now it kinda blends in with other cars.

I think it might grow on me… but I do miss the sharper lines they used to have. Anyone feel that way?

For sure! The previous models had such a distinct look. This new one feels a bit bland in comparison.

@Gray
Bland is the right word… I really hope they come out with a sportier version soon.

Yeah… it’s a bummer because I was excited for this release. Maybe it’s just a transition thing?

Could be… sometimes brands change things up before going back to what fans love.

@Sage
Let’s hope they listen to feedback. I’d love to see them go back to those sharp designs.
