Looks sexy!!

evoi19 · 02-20-2007, 03:31 AM

not bad i must say. Looks similiar to a e92 almost

AH · 02-20-2007, 03:50 AM

wow, it is awesome.... i think it will be head to head with e92 later.

uhaulball · 02-20-2007, 04:01 AM

looks more like a DODGE CHARGER than an audi..

Chris.G · 02-20-2007, 06:24 AM

i like the front of the car and the interior but im not really feeling the rear.

nmulax · 02-20-2007, 09:00 AM

Maybe I'm the only one... but I think the A5 interior is like the driver focused cockpit from the E46; while the E90 has the A4's more center stack layout.

I love the Audi interior. The exterior, eh... not crazy about -- though it took time for both the E90 and E92 to grow on me.

picus · 02-20-2007, 09:01 AM

Interior is ok, front (head on shot) is ok; the rest looks sort of like a toned down Tiburon to me. It's that weird body line...

canucklion · 02-20-2007, 09:18 AM

good thing you thought of it too, I thought I was going crazy, the side profile reminds me of Tiburon, the ugly one between the 1st gen and the current one.

the interior is the only thing that kills it... but the rest is pretty hot

Oh; after seeing that little thing on the top that looks like a shrivled up weinner ... I'll take my Shark Fin!!!

nmulax · 02-20-2007, 09:39 AM

Also looks like they went with the electronic e-brake like the A8. At least that fixes the handbrake/armrest issue with the A4.

0700700 · 02-20-2007, 09:45 AM

looks great

Zeiss · 02-20-2007, 09:50 AM

Looks like the A5 team ran out of ideas. This is a E92 ripoff

.

Headlights looks like the the Lincoln Zephyr

lyndon_h · 02-20-2007, 10:08 AM

As others have said it looks like a Hundyai (sp?). Its ok, but knowing Audi, it prolly weights 4000lbs.

snawaz · 02-20-2007, 10:26 AM

I would buy this straight away if had 3 seats in the back

Xanith · 02-20-2007, 11:20 AM

Any idea on the price point of these cars? If it is going to be around the 335, might be interesting to take a look at..

Ya... the 99-01.

We'll see on performance. Right now the closest competitor to the 335i stock is the S4, but the S4 is 10k more. I'd bet this thing will be $6-8k more than the 335i with the S4 engine in it.

nine4surfah · 02-20-2007, 11:28 AM

It looks like audi borrowed aesthetic cues form e92 but I like it.

ALPINE6SPD · 02-20-2007, 02:31 PM

I like it a lot

jjhan85 · 02-20-2007, 03:25 PM

yea i saw these pictures on my freinds car blog website. Its so similar to BMW's E92, its ridiculous. Audi is comin out with new cars like every years, they're getting a pretty good line up of cars.

but too bad they basically copied BMW's design on E92 like the back of the car and the general shape... AH HA...those but holes, HAHAHa ... but yea, it looks pretty cool i guess

a new E92 competitor has just arrived!
