I'm sure there will be differences of opinion, supporters and nay-sayers, as there are when any new model is introduced. (As an avid iPod user -- I'm reminded of the "current" vs. "new" debates that arise on the Apple discussion boards every time a new generation iPod is introduced!).

Having seen a couple of B7s at my dealer recently, I was impressed by the somewhat larger / more powerful engine, and the more aggressive front face. Personally, I thought the interior (silver trim) was a tad cheesy, and the new tail lights reminded me of a Honda Civic's. (No offense to Honda owners, BTW, as I'm on my third Honda!).

I happen to LOVE my B6 (1.8TQ, Tiptronic) - - in part as I bought one of the Special Editions. In pricing B7's, I found I'd have to pay about $3,500 more to get one similarly equipped.

So, intelligent folks will likely continue to come down on both sides, I suppose. . . .
