Must disagree, the 2nd one is a modernised 944, if it is an Audi the seats will have no padding

The top one is the much-maligned Jaguar.

Next is an Audi design exercise.

Third is a Daimler-Benz Mercedes.

Who employs the former chief stylist of JLR and released their image a month after JLR did theirs.

Coincidence?







I hate to admit it, but the D-B one comes closest to my preferred proportions, even though those tyre to wheel arch gaps will never see life in the real world:

The DB thing looks like one of those 1920s 30s art deco caricatures, straight out of some Isadora Duncan type thing.

Still think the E type looks better. AND, it actually exists.

The whole oversized grill aggressive look thing I'm hoping has had its day!

When I look back at BMW/Mercedes from the 1970s/1980s or Japanese stuff from the 1990s I really think cars looked a lot better back then!

I see they have done away with a stylist with taste and replaced "him / her" with an 8 year old with a felt tip.

I would have thought that the Audi stands most of making it into production with little change, the TT and R8 did move from concept to production. The MB looks like it is aimed at the would be Bruce Waynes of this world.

I wouldn't let any of them out from a side road.

Steer by wire? OK if the wire is 20mm thick single strand steel.
