Re: Single-frame grille. Good or bad?

Single frame for me as well.

Its obvious in these photo comparisons that the single frame has slowly evolved from two seperate grills to a single grill.

Re: Single-frame grille. Good or bad?

This post and the bangle no bangle post prove that the overwhelming majority of us here appreciate where AUDI and BMW are taking German design!

Single-Frame for me.

Re: Single-frame grille. Good or bad?

Yeah, I'm with Choleric. I wasn't surprised by the single frame move - look at the B6 A4, the vent below the bumper already had a chrome edge around it, echoing the 'top' grille. Sometimes I'd imagine what it would look like if they just joined the two chrome parts. And then maybe added an indentation to the bumper. But Audi took it further by making the indentation dark, like the grille.

I guess progression in design usually grows on us all, and we like it. Sometimes it works better than others though.

Re: Single-frame grille. Good or bad?

The older stuff is better looking. The RS6 is one of the best looking Audis there is, and it is a prime example of how the conservative yet still aggressive look worked so well.

Re: Single-frame grille. Good or bad?

The single frame is hot!
The only thing is, it looks like it could easily be damaged with the slightest bump.

New generation. The new grill gives the Audi more character than teh last ones which are definitely a bit two bland for my taste.

God I love how I am inspiring other polls!

Re: Single-frame grille. Good or bad?

Single frame for me. The cars look more aggressive, and the front looks more uniform. The previous generation was starting to look dated...

Re: Single-frame grille. Good or bad?

I prefer the single grill massively!

When it first came out I wasn't so sure, but now they are everywhere I have got used to the new design!

Also the single grill makes all the audis with the old grill look very dated!
