Audi and Mazda are the two car makers who have clear understanding of a cohesive design language!

I agree, all Audi models have a very recognizable (and attractive) style. You know an Audi when you see one.
But I would warn Audi of becoming too much like BMW, which I think has taken a serious downturn in recent years as far as design goes. This new A4 looks a lot like the new 3-series, especially from the back and side profiles.

Definitely, I went to a ride and drive today at a local Audi store. It was a fantastic day as I got to drive the S8, S6, and the RS4. The S8 is pure luxury, the RS4 is pure sports sedan, and the S6 splits the difference. I can't wait to try the S5, and the new A4/S4. They also had an R8 on hand for sitting in, but no drives.
BTW - The RS4 is the best car I have ever driven.

Yeah,
But the problem - IMHO - with Audi is that, until this emerging generation, all the sedans looked the same. You couldn't tell an A4 from an A6 in profile.
The emergent generation is much better in that regard...but they are all "be-Bangled," though Audi have hit all their exteriors more uniformly with that ugly stick!
