Don't expect many blog entries for the Audi A4 Avant this week. It's on a road trip to Las Vegas for the holidays. Check back when it returns next week.

At least you're not driving it through the rockies on its summer tires.

What a great car that is - if I drove the A4 to Vegas I'd likely keep driving just to get more seat time and skip Las Vegas totally.

These LED headlights are so annoying. One word - pretentious. Just hate them!

The A4 Avant seems like it would be a great road trip car. I'm looking forward to the results!

Completely opposite reaction for me. I think they look awesome, and I think this picture makes the A4 look fantastic. I look forward to the results, as well.

Agreed. I think the lights look really cool, very attractive.

The LED strips work. My gf probably didn't know Audi was a car company previously, and now she likes them. She'll even point out R8s when she sees them, but she does get confused by the TT sometimes :). It has done a lot for brand awareness.
Yesterday she got a Corvette confused with a Ferrarri. Work in progress!

Lol this made me simultaneously laugh AND cry.

I like it. It gives Audi a signiture look. The big grill and led company. lol
Its better than toyota with the "nose" look. You know, the way the toyota emblem pushes into the grill.

The LED eyeliner looks good on the R8, but looks like a complete afterthought on this car (likely because it was). And though it looks OK with the rest of the lights on, it looks pretty darn silly with just the eyeliner illuminated (it seems to function as the daytime running lights).

I completely disagree. I saw my first A4 Avant yesterday and it was the same as this one except it was black and I thought it looked quite amazing.

I love the LED tears... why they remind me of, I dunno, another notorious signature front lighting effect from some other unnamed Bavarian auto manufacturer...
