The Concept 4 might be an effort to anesthetize the public to what will ultimately be a much more conventional “big grille” treatment.

mkoesel said, you're fundamentally wrong. There will be nothing bisecting this grille, just like the current Audi's, etc. have nothing bisecting the grilles. There will crash bracing, etc.
underneath the grille, but if all of the pictures and insider statements haven't convinced you yet, you're being stubborn.
