UBM Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 OK, so we've had a few things pointed out already. It might be useful for people thinking of buying to have a definitive list of differences. 1. The noses - B6 split panels, B7 new single panel; er.....

IanHo Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 All panels apart from the roof changed. Brake "cleaning" system. Horrible steering wheels. Crappy looking rear lights. 2 Stage Air Bags. Modified suspension & steering (nicked bits off S4 & A6). Servotronic steering on 2.0 TFSI & others. S-Line pack is pants. Price gone in the wrong direction. Bi-Xenon lights. Adaptive lights. Bored now, but trying to mix the negative with the positive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Externally every panel is meant to be different other than the roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I was trying to keep it unbiased, but I don't think we can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBM Posted February 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Another... You can't tell the difference from the A3, A4 and A6 from the front at a distance, not like the B6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I hope it grows on people because come car changing time, it's the only option if you want an A4. Or you could get a B6 cab before they mess that up as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 What is it with the new steering wheel? It's bloody awful. Reminds me of the one my next door neighbour had on his Allegro when I was a kid . They can't be putting this wheel in sports/Sline models surely? It looks like it was designed by a pensioner!

bearra Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 EASY !!!! One looks GERMAN One looks JAPANESE If they bastardise the cab, don't know what car I will have next?? Dare I say it I may go to BMW What else needs saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHo Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 You could say that , at least I'm only 5 months in to B6 ownership, I can wait for the B8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Any wild guesses/informed as to when the B8 might surface? I've got under 3 years left of my B6 and I will not be choosing the B7 as a replacement. Audi, what have you done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearra Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 With you there Sparky, think I will hold out until all new B8 arrives. So annoying, there aren't many cabs in the £30K-£40K range and the A4 is by far the best looking! May have to consider a proper roof as I do actually love the A6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 The A5 Coupe/Cab isn't due until 2007, my guess is that the new A4 won't appear at least until after this, early 2008 ? This is like clutching at straws trying to guess what they will do ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 So to conclude, the TSN audi drivers' advice to anyone looking at a B7 is.... Wait for the B8! 'nuff said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I dont know what you women are moaning about, the new nose has really grown on me, although id only have it on a dark car, or red. Audi's now stick out from the passat/superb/etc and all you can do is complain......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I don't mind the nose... on the A8/A6/A3 - but it looks girly (sorry to any females reading this!), but it's lost it's subtle aggressive looks that the B6 has. Having said that, mine does have the GmbH kit on it so it looks a little different to the standard A4. Anyhoo - still waiting for the B8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I want to change my B6 before April 2006 when it would be 3 years old. Not much chance of a B8 being out then! Where did I put my brochure for the 1-series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'm not that desparate. I'll buy an S3 if I had to wait for the B8 - I'm not lowering my standards to a 1 Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
