Students in the Munich University auto design program were asked to come up with a sporty, yet ecologically reasonable car easily recognizeable as an audi. No, they didn't come up with the A2 again...
This is the result of their efforts:

Thoughts?
I like it a lot, actually. Kinda reminds me of the prodrive car in a good way.
 
Cool! It's like the 1980s school of design lasted another 20 years and watched Bladerunner and Total Recall all weekend.

I like it.
 
Ermmm...no! What's up with that white plate in the middle of the grille? And those headlights(that look like fog lights) look like I installed them.

I also wonder where the engine is supposed to be. If it's in the back - ok, but if it's in the front, then what's the purpose of the enormous rear vents?
 
That's so brutal looking. I love it.

Dude, you're putting way, WAY too much thought into this. That's a design study by some art students, not a pre-production concept car.

I know, but still...it should be somehow realistic.
Tell me you like the white plate in the middle of the grille?

Agreed. Here it is less buck-toothy. It's an improvement.

No. Now it looks like WALL-E's depressed cousin.
 
^ Yeah, I like it a bit more with the tooth.

So instead of Wall-E's depressed cousin, you like his inbred cousin better?
 
Okay, how's this?

While it now looks like current audi's. That looks fairly awesome. Like what would happen if group b engineers gpt a hold of an S3.

Nope, not doing it for me. I mean, I like the render, but it's just too conventional compared to the insanity that is the first post.

The nose is too long and pointy. I like the chopped off front end, it's sharp angles make the car look a bit dangerous, almost like it's not done yet.

Seriously, the original image was great, it was a coat of rattle-can matte black away from Mad Max.
 
fugly to the max.
