Default Audi A5 Coupe



from www.m1audi.co.uk
Audi officials have confirmed the automaker’s BMW 6-Series fighter will go on sale in mid-2007, according to our source. The 2008 Audi A5 will be a large coupe with similar engine offerings to the A6.There will be a V6 TDI and a V8 FSI. The A5 will be based on the Audi Nuvolari Concept. We have dealers taking deposits now so be quick.

I'm thinking it will be based more against the 3-Series coupe, and the upcomming A7 Coupe will go against the 6-Series

Wont Audis coupe line up get rather crowded with a TT, A5 and A7. I know makers are under pressure to hit every niche in this day and age but theres such thing as too much choice.

Doesnt look too bad though, if a little ungainly trying to stretch a coupe body over such a long chassis

2+2 TT? oh wait, the TT already has back seats doesnt it..

That picture looks just like the new TT except a bit longer and uglier.. as I really don't see why Audi needs another coupe like this..

Sadly no bigger pictures, but i think it looks brilliant. Very elegant and nicely shaped. If the back will also look that good this will be one of the nicest cars on the streets

It looks pretty boring. I can't see anyone buying this.

Those lovely Audi coupes look superb, but I always prefer sedan cars or even Kombi (Avant) cars.

Looks like a Toyota Solara had sex with a Acura CL. And the the new A5 was born.
