Following the leaked Audi roll out schedule until 2012 in Quattro Quarterly, we now have an artist rendering of the Audi A5 Sportback. The model is planned for September 2009 and will proceed with Audi’s aim to differentiate the A5 into a separate model family.
Before the A5 Sportback, there will be A5 Cabrio, and A4 Avant in March 2008. Obviously, the A5 Sportback will not remain a two-door as the coupe, but rather a five-door configuration. However, in order to be distinguished form the A4 Avant, the car might propose more sleek design in the rear with a more spacious cabin. The A5 Sportback will be equipped with bigger engines than the A4 Avant, such as 4.2 V8, although, the most sporty version will be the RS 5, which is expected to debut in early 2009.
Audi’s plan to catch sales and production up to BMW and Mercedes-Benz consists of enlarging the product range with 18 new models. That move will help the company reach 1 million vehicles sales in 2010 as those 18 new models will help push demand for the exotic niche models such as the Audi A5 Sportback. The A5 Sportback will be positioned between the Avant models of the A4 and A6.

Must admit then that I still find the A5 front more appealing than the also quite beautiful new A4 front looks.
Can't wait for the A4 Avant. Maybe they'll rethink the idea and use the probably good-looking back end for the A4 series Avant. Would make sense to me.
One of the main aspects of buying an A5 maybe is (/was) having something special, off the hook, that is just not as "everyday" as the others.
The Avant versions are usually a bit more expensive than the sedans.
Who would need yet another?
