    Dentophobia

    /dɛntoˈfəʊbɪə/

    noun

    A fear of parking in public car parks beside plebs who don't give a sh!t about their car or anyone else's. These people will often park right beside you in a completely empty section of the car park and damage your car despite the fact that you parked there in order to avoid this.

    Make AUDI
    Model S4
    Description 3.0 TFSI QUATTRO 5DR
    Engine Capacity 2995

    Yep looks like a genuine S4, but I agree the exhausts looked off, but might be just used to the more oval ones.

    Looks so much better with the plate holder on the front. I think it will look even better once there's a white plate in it, to break up the big slab of black.

    I'd say they're radar?

    Looks even worse on the models that have chrome slats in the grille.

    Look like a poverty spec vehicle with plastic where the fancier stuff goes, between that and those giant slack jawed grills like the beemer posted I'm not impressed with frontal design on some things recently

    This is the S6, looks like an unmarked police car.

    I thought the sensor on the front of the skoda looked messy, that’s way worse.

    It’s an Audi so probably more fake exhausts 😀

    I could just see them being way too tempting for a little scumbag not to kick them off and land you with a very expensive repair bill.

    The ones on the Honda E seem to be a bit more descreate:

    Or the camera fogs up. Honestly think they are a step backwards. Somethings just work why fix what's isn't broken.

    If my mirrors fog up I give them a quick wipe, I don't see this being any different when you have a camera.

    I'll stick to my mirrors for now

    They could have a heater circuit around cameras to stop them fogging the way some mirrors also have heater circuit.

    The VW Radar is in the badge, best design so far.

    I hope it is like in the Mercedes trucks - on the sides inside the cabin, otherwise it will take a while to get used to.

    Saying that I think they are example of overengineering of simple things that work.

    I could see the benefit in large trucks to eliminate blind spots etc, but with rather small passenger car I see no need at all.

    Blind spot warning should be enough.

    Ye I don't get it. Looks to me like taking a massive brick of an SUV and tring to pretend it's aerodynamic because it has no mirrors. Looking at your centre console as you turn right is very odd too.. Must have a screen in the A pillars...

    In my opinion that C43 beside A35, E43, E53 (hope didn't miss any) is one of those which shouldn't wear AMG badges. I know they changed names and it's now Mercedes AMG C43 and not Mercedes C63 AMG but still... it's just wrong. Does they have the same angine build system as 'proper' AMG (if there is any proper left). I mean do they have that badge in the engine with name of person who build/quality check engine or is it just usual Mercedes to make people think they are that bit more special driving AMG ?

    I've been a big AMG fan for years and my heart is bleeding seeing what they did to company. Mercedes-Benz should never put hands on it and it should stay as separate company.

    Btw saw AMG E53 Convertible on M50 last sunday, NI reg and wouldn't be anything super special but it was yellow - very brave colour.

    .

    I agree 100% they shouldn’t be marketed as AMG models. It’s pretty much false advertising IMO. Those models do not have engines built by AMG (with the badge etc.). In the case of the A35 I believe it’s an engine from Renault that’s being used!

    Apart from the “fake” AMG badging, c43 has one of the best sounding V6s out there IMO, maybe after jag f-type’s V6.
