Looks more modern to me, but there's too much "body" below the headlights and above the foglights. New A6 has the same problem.

this is the beginning of an ugly era for audi.

with all the germans going ugly, is ugly the new fad ?

Wow, the front end is just atrocious. Why bother trying to fix/update such a great looking car? The current A5/S5 is way better.

This is one upgrade they could have passed on. For some reason it now looks dated, less attractive, even slow(read droopy head lights). They took one of the sexiest looking coupes on the market and made it less sexy. Hopefully it looks much better in person.

J.P.

they wanted to give you more reason to buy the RS.......

As others have stated, the front is a step backwards but the other changes seem nice.

I have to wonder how efficient a 268hp S/C 3.0L V6 is...

I don't know but it's probably putting out a highly underrated 300 hp.

piano black surrounds on the interior... i will have to see it in person to make comments on it.

The new front looks similar to the new A6, which, if you've seen it in person, is a very handsome and elegant car - at least in my opinion.

This doesn't look bad, actually. I'm sure it'll actually look much nicer in person.

But the A6 is bigger car. The A5 had a sharp aggressive front end before, especially with the older LEDs. The new LEDs make it look like an older, more refined car, which IMO, is not what the A5 is supposed to be. It's not BAD persay, but it doesn't feel like an A5/S5 anymore.

similar does not mean well executed.

this one looks like an angry cartoon bear.

the car doesn't look as sleek or "low" to me anymore. It seems like the car is sitting more upright now after the facelift

I like the rims though. And it still looks better than a Hyundai.
