Officiall: Audi A5 Coupé

I don't know, but I see a lot of the BMW E92's influence in the car, especially the rear end treatments. And that is not a good thing.

Like the E92, I think this car looks too big. Again, not a good thing for a Sports Coupe.

First new design from Audi that I didn't like. :?

Thanks for the pics!

Uh. "Leaked"? Whatever. Yay for automotive espionage!!!

Well, this is disappointing. Where's the Nuvolari gone? All I see is an A4 with the A3 front and 3-series arse. And that style line is weird. Strange curves. And ewwww. That weird style line treatment lower down, that's so BMW! What's the world gone to? Audi with a flame-surface treatment.

HOPEFULLY, this is a hoax. Some very good photoshop pics. And I'll wake up from this nightmare. :cry:

PS: Wow. I keep looking at it. It's so ugly. How can they go from the A6 to the TT to the R8 to THIS? Hopefully, those fools at Audi realize what a big mistake they've made. Nobody buy this!

It's like an ugly version of the E92 3-series.

Yeah, too much bmw 3-ish, doesn't look very good actually.

Hoping fr better pictures...!

kksh	02-20-2007 03:49 AM

Somehow the rear reminds of a E92 3 Series coupe. Especially the rear lights.

I quite like it, but then again I am an audi nerd. It promises a lot for the S5 or RS5. Why do they have 2 different placements for the MMI controls?...
It would be perfect with a RS5 with an inline 5cyl Turbo....:drool:

Looks like an A6 with 2 doors, huge rearlights that don't fit the car that much. A bit boring look, except for the front.

I see that the Benz CLS has nothing to worry about. 8)

It just looks like an 14 to me with some refinements. The orginal concept pics looked great.

The interior is great as usual but the front end is quite dull :? Looks like a two-door sedan...

i'm glad im not the only one who thinks the back looks abit like that of the 3 series coupe...i was expecting it to look more like the nuvolari concept car...and whats with that gearshift it looks the same as the one in the golf gti...oh well they say the engine is placed behind the front wheels this time so maybe it will drive slightly better :|

TopGearNL

I like it in that blue or red but it looks like an A4 missing some doors, terrible look..

dutchmasterflex

02-20-2007 09:36 AM

Looks BIG for a coupe.. almost as if it is a 2 door sedan.

gobs3z

02-20-2007 09:47 AM

Is this supposed to be based on the A4 underpinnings, i question that since it has the A6 interior, but maybe they're going to do that to all upcoming A4's. Whatever, doesn't look nearly as good as it should have.

Seriously, they had a brilliant design in the Nuvolari Concept:

A car with presence, elegant... and stylish, like the latest cars made in Ingolstadt - but this A5 is plain boring. The design doesn't inspire anything, even the E92 - those lights are exactly the same as in the beemer - looks cooler if you ask me :? :?

We'll have to wait for the S and RS versions, and see if their performance can make us forget the boring looks :? :roll:

i 100% agree. the nuvolari was SUCH a beautiful car......i'm not sure how they completely abandoned it and made this....which looks like such an average, middle of the road coupe.

I love Audis....but this car looks very very confused about its style...and those curves on the side, make me wanna puke! reminds me of a Hyundai.

it's a sad day when i take down an Audi...but this is the one :|

Maybe I have the cure for you, Audi S5 ;)

It's ok but there are a LOT of cars that will be in that price bracket that I'd rather have.

Audi S5 will probably be at least 911 Carerra (base model) money.

I hope there'll be an RS version. :twisted:

no way, i prefer the 3 series coupe by far... maybe the RS version, but the M3 will be cooler :D

Oh no. You're brain's automatically rationalizing its looks because it's an Audi. :P

The S5 looks better for some reason, but it's still worse than "not pretty".

The Nuvolari concept was much more beautiful and elegant than this new Audi A5/S5, but on the other hand the interior design is always top notch. Personally, I have no interest for this kind of Grand Tourer luxury coupe, even if there will be a RS version of it...give me instead a Sedan/Avant or a proper Sport coupe like the R8. :wink:

Oh shit, you are right, the Q7 is terrible too. I just completely put that one out of my mind like it never existed :D .

Well, that's two bad ones. Haha.

dali	02-21-2007 07:43 AM

Not exactly what I call exciting styling. Haven't we seen this sideline at Hyundai Coupe?

Z3uS	02-21-2007 12:51 PM

Noooooooo! What's that?! I'm seriously disappointed :cry:

Not even the S5 saved it for me... I agree it shou8ld have been more like the Nuvolari concept.

wow!! Now I have always thought Audi made handsome cars.......but I never really liked the look of them enough to buy one. That A-5 on the other hand......I'd buy it.

I like the way how it looks, a bit better looking than new 3 Series Coupe imo 8)

looks good.. but I'll take a 6er over it anyday

I think it looks great! It looks different than other present Audis but not worse IMO. Wait until you see it in real life on the streets.

Yeah thats my point, I also said I didn't like it but I said the same about the Z4 and the 5 and 6 series BMW..

I'd like to see the thread where the new 5 series was announced, probably everyone indluding myself didn't like it at first.. :wink:
