Audi does have a valid point when they say:
In 2010 the hybrid system had to improve the fuel economy by at least 2.5% (= 2/81) for it to make sense. However, in 2012 it has to yield an improvement of at least 3.3% (= 2/60).
Strangly they also don't like the new mandatory louvers on the wheel fenders...
If the aero balance is shifted forward, why not compensate this with more rear downforce. Moreover, the rear fenders are also mandated to get louvers.

Apparently in the latest Bulletin the mandatory front and rear "louvers" for 2012 have evolved into something else entirely. I'm hearing they are now giant "holes" in both the front and rear fenders. Working on getting more information.
