Nice interior.
It looks just like the 3 series from the sides and rear and the huge SUV grills are starting to get old.

It doesn't even look German in execution or proportions. I really was looking forward to this. Sigh....

Looks nice. Not beautiful, but nice.

Germans need to be a bit more design savvy than this...

Not stunningly beautiful, but a nice, clean-looking car. The interior ia nice too, like most Audi's.

Car is suppose to be introduced at Geneva. Someone probably messed up. No specs yet.

Looks like a 4500rpm. On the back it says 3.0TDI. Diesel baby!!


I like the way this looks. Not breathtaking, but its a clean design. Rear reminds me of a BMW 8-series for some reason.

I think it looks great! A little bit more curvy than I expected but I still like it.

Looks pretty bland to me. The front looks too blunt and square.

Well said.....3-series all over it except for the grille which I actually like from Audi. And yeah the interior is clean as always. I give it a 7.5

Since I'm one of those that like the E92 styling, I also like this Audio A5 styling. I think I still prefer the 3 Series a little more, but I'd love to own this Audi as well.

Actually, the more I look at it I think I like its styling equally with the E92. Booth look great. Similar yet very different. This is how sports coupes supposed to look like.
