i would at least 'do-an-alfa-156-rear-door-handles' on the a5 so that we don't have to call it the a4 sportback. it's not as muscular, say a four-door dodge charger.

True. I love those door handles. Would have looked nice on this. Although, I really like this car as is.

A bit uninspiring to be honest - could have added some 'different', interesting styling cues to mark it apart from the A5 2-door layout instead of just adding 2 more doors.

Wait, no Rs3? Nooooo! I hope the Audi RS3 and Golf GTI-R can be unveiled at the same time then.

I kind of agree, I like the A5/S5 design in Coup? & Cabriolet trim, but this doesn't even look as good as a 4-door A4...
They should have simply done a 5-door A4, I mean a hatchback A4, with A4 front (and maybe this A5 Sportback rear)

honestly... i don't get the point...
is this really necessary with A4 and A6 looking pretty similar to this one??
or is this supposed to be Mercedes CLS type of car...
I love Audi's design, but everything starts to look a lot lik each other...;''';;;

Insane cheap, the 1,8L A5 3 door cost the same as that one in Norway. This will be about 130000 Euros in Norway..

well, there is hardly a four door coupe out there who looks better than this. def. a winner. sexy, prestigeous, efficient and flexible, what more can u ask for?!

i agree completely! i love this car! i dont understand people trying to say audi have lost their reputation by releasing so many models every year... audi is a business, no wait, audi is a car manufacture mate, this is how they make money! and if they all come out lookinh like this then they are doing bloody well! and to those who say audi already have 4 sedans so this one is useless, put them all next to each other, they are all geared in different directions/market sectors... think of how many models MB have, and i dont see anyone giving them crap!?
in all beautiful car, perfect family-mans racer/kid pickeruperer! haha
and cheers for the link to the other photos CMS, much appreciated! :)

What garbage. The S5 was meant to be a coupe, nothing else. What are they going to have next an A5 SUV

Audi is realy stupid company & has lost their repected reputation by releasing so many modles every year.
i need one person to tell me wht is the point of making this car???? they already have over 4 saloons so whts this for????
A5 was so special as coupe & i was huge fan of it but not any more.. i wont be surprised if they make an R8 saloon next...

the 2-door Coupe was never meant to be the only model carrying the A5 badge, like the A4 line-up who consists of 3 variants as well. the A5 cabriolet and A5 sportback were planned together with the 2-door coupe from day 1 but Audi is clever enough to release them piece by piece, to generate steady attention for the whole A5 line-up.
the A5 range consists of coupe, cabriolet and sportback
the A4 range consists of sedan, avant and allroad.
nothing too special about offering more than one A5 version imho. Customers will get used to it over the years as they got used to the Audi station wagons at the beginning of the 90s.

I think the Audi lineup makes sense. The A5 series are simply the sexier/sportier variants of the A4 family. They are awefully simple and straight forward than Mercedes. MB renamed the CLK to E class and fool others that the car is based on a E class instead of C. Regadged the C coupe to the CLC and makes people think it's a brand new model. And there goes the confusig SLK, SLS, SLR, SL...
