This community doesn't know what they want.

I’ve been here for years, and for as long as I can remember, people were constantly asking for the same things: less piano black, fewer screens, better material quality, cleaner interiors, and a return to Audi’s roots. That was basically the main criticism for years.

Now that Audi seems to be moving in that direction with the Concept C and the new Nuvolari design language, the reaction still seems overwhelmingly negative. Personally, I think both are amazing and beautiful steps forward. They actually feel like Audi is listening to feedback, while still trying to do something different and modern instead of just copying the past.

I get that a lot of people here love the more aggressive Audi designs from the last decade. I love those cars too. I’ve driven them, and they’ve played a big role in why I care about the brand in the first place. But at the same time, Audi has to evolve like every other brand. They can’t just keep remaking the same design forever.

To me, this new direction feels clean, unique, and still very Audi. It keeps the brand identity while adapting it for a new era. Honestly, compared to what a lot of the rest of the car industry is doing right now, I think Audi’s approach is much better.

What frustrates me is that so many comments seem negative just for the sake of being negative. There’s not much constructive criticism or actual discussion. I’d genuinely like to hear what people dislike, what they would change, and what direction they think Audi should take instead.

Diesels are much better engine's for the average person.

Everything I will state is based on my personal experience, backed up by some kind of objective reasoning. I have driven everything from a 1.0 Clio to a G 63 4.0 in the petrol world and Diesel 1.6/2.0/3.0 from Audi/BMW/Benz. These are my observations.

For the same power level, a Diesel is always more efficient, from a 30% efficiency increase when driven lightly to double the efficiency when driven to its maximum.

Diesels last a lot longer than petrol engines. Just look at my local market; I can find thousands of Diesels with +300,000km, while petrol vehicles with +300k are almost impossible to find.

Low-end pull is miles better on Diesel, which is a lot more useful for everyday overtaking and driving for an average person.

Obviously, nothing beats a V8 popping on every downshift with that beautiful sound, but that's more for the performance side of the car market, which I don't consider the average consumer's preference.

Maintenance cost really depends on how skilled the mechanics are in your area. Where I live, many people specialize in diesels, while others do both, which changes the price of labor. Diesel has more stuff to maintain, but the trade-off is the much longer lifespan of the engine.

What do you guys think, how does your experience look like?
