February 20, 200719 yr So its a 3-series with an Audi grille? I know they are trying to compete, but with this bland of a design and with this obvious of a design rip off I don't think they can swing enough buyers. BMW has a stranglehold in this area, so Audi should have brought something a little more extravagant to the table.
February 20, 200719 yr You guys (the ones that don't like it) have to look at the big picture... the total design... It looks really good! Note: Spending waaay too much time in an Audi/VW dealership this past week could have caused me to like their stuff more then I usually would.
February 20, 200719 yr Simple, sporty and sleek. The three S's have prevailed here and it looks damn good. Looks longer than a 3-series coupe, is it just the angle of the photos or is it actually bigger? Toyota Solara with an Audi grillI definitely don't see the Solara in that A5, and thank goodness for that. It's one of my most hated cars heh.
February 20, 200719 yr I think the headlights could be a little more aggressive looking but overall I like ti a lot. The interor looks the same as most other Audis though.
February 20, 200719 yr God I think that's GORGEOUS! If I had the money, I'd be purchasing one immediately.
February 20, 200719 yr The interior looks picked straight up from the A8. Exterior greenhouse looks charming but the front is too trivial.
February 20, 200719 yr The front is kinda gloopy and boring, but the rest is quite nice. Fabulous interior... better than the CTS I think.
February 20, 200719 yr That gross disgusting B-pillar is inducing. The interior & sculpted fenders are nice but now that Mercedes, the new Camaro & even Jaguar have new HARDTOPS in showrooms 2 door luxury/sport cars with B-pillars are ubber lame! The headlights are also cheesy and that Audi grille is getting very cheesy.
February 20, 200719 yr Author I find it interesting that the tachometer only goes up to 6000 rpms This particular car is a diesel.
February 20, 200719 yr The front is kinda gloopy and boring, but the rest is quite nice. Fabulous interior... better than the CTS I think.I disagree... I love the new CTS interior. But part of my decision is based on the fact that I prefer a symmetrical interior vs a driver-focused one.
February 20, 200719 yr The headlights are also cheesy and that Audi grille is getting very cheesy. Tell me... Are Pontiac's, Cadillac's, Jeep's, Dodge's, MB's, BMW's, etc... Are their grills getting cheesy too? It's called a brand identity. I disagree... I love the new CTS interior. But part of my decision is based on the fact that I prefer a symmetrical interior vs a driver-focused one.I *heart* driver oriented interiors.
February 20, 200719 yr very nice, but the steering wheel looks straight on in that pic, as in not straight to the driver...?
February 20, 200719 yr Revealed: Audi A5 Beautiful little coupe! Funny though....to me it says a bit "BMW 335i Coupe meets (new) Camaro Coupe" in some of it's stance, roofline, and profile. Typical beautiful Audi interior!
February 21, 200719 yr GOOD GOD!! That grille is even worse, I was just begining to admire the S5 when I saw that. That is horrible, what were they thinking, as if the regular grille is not obtrusive enough they had to make this one even more?! What are the specs on the S5 anway?
February 21, 200719 yr Other than the ugly, droopy character line, I really like this car. The interior is amazing: luxurious and modern, techy without being overkill. The character line is overkill, though, and ruins the graceful exterior styling.
February 21, 200719 yr Audi has run out of ideas. What a half assed effort. I could leave a Carl on the coffee table and it'd be more attractive.
February 22, 200719 yr I just don't get it. Any person could've predicted this is what these vehicles would look like. They're bland and the bodies could've been carved with two slices out of a bar of soap. What is original or sexy about this? I'm lost.

February 22, 200719 yr Interior doesn't wow me (no real continuity or fluidity), but audi interiors have never lived up to the hype IMO. Steering wheel is clunky & something about that wide, flat, hooded IP says 1980s to me. Meh. Exterior no longer says 'audi'; now badge reading is the most telling element. Grille is HUGE (tho I personally like large grilles). Very similar front fascia elements on the G6 GXP and the A5.... :wink: Overall, it's not bad, but it's not notable either- like a tremendous amount of automotive design in modern times. BV- that near-identical wheel design has been used before... can't remember by who tho...
February 22, 200719 yr It appears to have alot of Bangle influence in the sides, and the front looks cross eyed and confused.
February 22, 200719 yr You drive a Millenia. You drive a car with a huge wing The A/S5 maybe be somewhat boring, but at least it looks classy, as it should for the probable price tag.
February 22, 200719 yr You drive a car with a huge wing Well you.. you... (Satty I need some help). haha You're not a part of this!It looks classy I guess, yeah. But I don't see how people would buy this over the Cadillac, Mercedes, or BMW equivalent...
February 22, 200719 yr i have a carl brewing in my bowels. should i put four rings on it and call it an Audi "A-turd?" Edited February 22, 200719 yr by regfootball
February 23, 200719 yr Well you.. you... (Satty I need some help). haha You're not a part of this! It looks classy I guess, yeah. But I don't see how people would buy this over the Cadillac, Mercedes, or BMW equivalent... The A5 is for those that want everything the others have to offer (power, nice interior, luxury features) but don't want the "look at me" styling. Some people like to stand out and show their wealth, others would like to be less "look at me" and enjoy everything that's nice about a luxury car without putting on a show.
February 23, 200719 yr You drive a Millenia.You just backhandedly insulted yourself. The A5 is for those that want everything the others have to offer (power, nice interior, luxury features) but don't want the "look at me" styling. Some people like to stand out and show their wealth, others would like to be less "look at me" and enjoy everything that's nice about a luxury car without putting on a show.What he said. And it's stylish enough to be sexy. Like my Millenia.
February 23, 200719 yr I hate the droopy character line and the BMW 3-Series coupe style tail lamps, but I love it. It's an Audi Coupe that's not a TT.
February 23, 200719 yr i have a carl brewing in my bowels. should i put four rings on it and call it an Audi "A-turd?" Outrageous!
February 24, 200719 yr how original.....i mean, these don't exactly match, but what does match is how bland and derivitive they both are. Edited February 24, 200719 yr by regfootball
