But the target is the 335i and that's going to be a tough one. Based on what I've read, the A5 will be between the A4 and A6 in size (well, it is the "A5"). I just wish it was an A4 coupe. I'm not really interested in a larger car. Also noted that the images show a three liter Diesel badge. I wonder if NA will see that configuration? In a month or two we will at least get to see what the reviewers think. I can't wait for Jeremy Clarkson to do a write up. He certainly dissed the 335i's styling.

I'm not in the market for a coupe, I really just want to see what they say about the driving dynamics. A sedan for everyday, and the occasional autocross event [think S4] would be perfect, if a little less nose heavy. I've also heard that this will replace any A4 cabriolet's now. |

and other forums, people are saying it resembles the 3 coupe series to much. I get that a little. The 3 series is a killer for me in the rear end. It looks to much like a GTO.

Replying to: byronwalter (Feb 21, 2007 10:47 am) Like I said earlier, I wish it was more like the Nuvolari concept, ie more aggressive. I think it will handle better, how much so remains to be seen. One of my Audi buddies thinks this design is the signal that all Audi's will look like Italian cars now. Not such a good thing. |

Replying to: byronwalter (Feb 21, 2007 10:47 am) I not totally sold on that swoopy styling and prefer the sharp crease of the other audis, but I'll have wait to see the a5 in person before i make a final styling judgement. Kinda interesting abou the italian comment..the A5 looks a little maserati to me. And that might not be a bad thing. |

Its okay. I dont really like the square-ish headlamps but i think the rear end is really sweet. The interior looks a little downgraded but im sure the fit and finish is nice...wish it was more like the a6. It does look a little Italian...a lot different from the other Audis with sharper creases and lines like the A6 and R8... Here's another website with some more photos... link title the side profile is amazingly good looking imo. it almost looks like it might have the window built into the trunk hatch, like the Jaguar XKR or Aston Martin Rapide. That would be awesome... and here are some better pics of the S5...looks pretty much the same. link title

Replying to: quattroporte12 (Feb 21, 2007 1:14 pm) The 3 is out of proportion front to back IMO. As far as the interior, I wish it was again more aggressive like the shooting brake concept. That interior was just so driver oriented. It called out to me at night to drive it

everyone is reporting that the 6 cylinder version will be the same 3.2 litre displacement. Anyone know why they aren't giving it the 3.6 from the Q7? I think it will fit won't it? |
