What's up with Audi and it's toaster grill anyways??.....
I know ppl who drove bimmers sometimes have a big mouth, but Audi doesn't need to put the solution on the cars

The grill is insane!

the overall styling is still very audi, but that grill, WOW, what is going on there?

UGH! WTF is wrong with Audi, the new cars are looking ugly after a run of very nice and understated cars, the last S8 was very nice looking, and now this...:x

What's going on with the grill is that it's a PSed picture I believe....just look at the S-badging...doesn't quite fit with the rest of it, nor does the rest of the front grill.

I like it, but it looks photoshoped like Vansquish said.

One of my friends works for Audi Quattro GmbH and confirmed me that this pix is really photoshoped. Expected some minor changes from this one for the real production model.

Well good...at least I know I'm not crazy hehe.

i heard they have to change the grill because too many small children get stuck in it

Is it a Photoshop ? Because i didn't hear anyhting about an S8, except rumours. Is there official figures ?

Even though it is photoshopped, I'm pretty sure that when Audi does decide to build an S8 it will have this grille. The standard A8 has/will have it too. I'm very disappointed with that, which goes for the new A6 as well. That grille is gruesome. The rest of the car is understated and a good shape, the grille just doesn't fit in that design. If I were to buy an Audi with that nose, I'd have a tuning company do some aftermarket changes to it. I'm sure they will come up with solutions because many people don't like it. I would want it changed to a double grille, like the current RS6 and previous A8 has. The shape is basically the same, you just leave the bumper out of it.
