I'd never go back to halogens. The difference is.... 'night and day'.

"The 3.6-litre engine was noticeably quicker than the turbocharged four and more than offset the added weight of the AWD system. Yet the four gives up little to the V6".

Am I the only one who finds these two sentences contradictory ?!

Bah - Xenon's are yesterday's news.  LEDs are the current hot ticket.

Don't LEDs have a really narrow beam?

I hate LED strips too, at least in the front. Taillights is ok.

Seems everyone is rolling with the LED strips now since Audi LEXUS brought them out. Some look great some not so much.

Fixed!!

Lexus beat Audi with the LEDs.  LED has been on the LS600h since 2007.

Don't know really.  I read a mag review recently where some upscale ride (might have been an Audi) was touting the benefits of its new LED headlights - not just the narrow DRL strip - as being the next step in the evolution of headlight design.

I don't think there's any question that proper HID's beat the crap out of halogens.  But then again, 99% of my driving is done in places where they have got wind of the invention of electricity, and the roads are lit - from side streets to major highways.  The benefits of HIDs over good projector halogens just don't make an impact on my driving.  I'd rather have them than not, but it wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me.

Audi's new commercial is pretty funny:
