so what's the point on having A5 SB and A7? almost the same size but different b and c pillars??

@ pousa13 Well, this is all about car makers nowadays: make so many useless cars as you can.

*yawn*... i agree. waste of time. audi would be better to spend their time, money and resources on improving driving dynamics and improving their designs. another same sausage different length case.

they improved their driving dynamics. check out the new S4 with the new sport differential. they plan to offer that diff as an option to other models.

err exactly how is this a foor door? it clearly has a hatchback rear end... and what therefore is the point of an A5 when that and this look near identical. come to think of it all audis look identical. actually whats the point of any of them then if thats the case. i hate them to the max. their xerox styling smacked on to every model. what a joke.

The same point as having an A4, A6 & A8; the main difference is the size.

i'm sure there are more luxury options on the bigger models, the size isn't the only difference.

im a little disappointed that they havent used the grill and shape of the lights from the concept, i must say i think the new cls will be a much better lookin car than this from the spy pics and the current form of the designs merc is producing at the min, the e class coupe is a magnificent lookin vehicle on the road

I'm a big fan of Audi and I've expected them to come out with something new on this model. Especially because it's suppose to compete in such an exclusive segment of market. The profile of this car looks too much like the current A6, except the headlights. I thought they would use the new six-angle grill like the one on A7 concept...

The overall sillouette is far better proportioned than the 5 series GT, but (like peterjames7) I, too, am disappointed that the front end grille and headlight design of the concept was scrapped form something so banal, bland, and (almost) pedestrian. I'll bet the great rear-end design elements of the concept were also left on the design-room floor. If this model is too bland and too much like the A5 SportBack, I imagine the less-expensive A5 will cannibalize sales from this A7.

i was actually at an audi day, testing there new models in a nice hotel environment recently and they had the new a5 sportback there,amongst others, bearing in mind i had an a5 for a yr but i now drive an xf, all i thought the whole time was around the a5 was im in an a6, oh it looks like a new a6, it feels like a new a6, but ultimately when i drove into the car park and seen my xf i couldnt wait to get back behind the wheel of such a brilliant involving car again. from the looks of these pics it looks as though the a7 may follow that trend,unfortunate really they had an opportunity to do something really interesting with this car and just like diesel dog i can see the equally boring a5 sportback taking sales from this

Let's widen the list. A1,A2,A3,A4,...A1001... I don't say all, but most Audi's look identical to each other. Adding on that, they're bland. The only product I like from Audi is the face-lifted Q7.

As an Audi driver, I'm disappointed with this, it actually looks quite cheap, maybe it is still a pre-production model. But even my new 2009 A4 Avant isn't nearly as good as my 2006 model in terms in dynamics and build quality. VW AG is watering down the brand big time.

I agree with you. The plastic feels a lot thinner and the feel isn't the same. It is like comparing the new TT and the old TT. Huge difference!
