Audi A7 confirmed for U.S. and maybe S8, but no A5 Sportback

A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8..... I guess they will start using fractions... A4.2 A5.6....

No A5 Sportback, great news. We really didn't need that.

It looks boring already except for the pic #15 & #16 & they even beat the mercedes alphabet like Class A,B,C,CLC,CLS,CL,E,G,GL,GLK,M,R,S,SL,SLK,SLS,V etc.

Come with something new and usefull, audi

we don't need most of audi models.. A1 - 8.... half of them are redundant another copycat of CLS

They don't need the A5 Sportback simply because it is just a bloody A4 saloon that sits four even with less rear headroom.

I don't really get the difference between the A5 Sportback and A7. The Audi range has become way too cluttered and diluted to me; it's like there's no focus.

I'm surprised Audi hasn't made a serious go at a full-size coupe (Benz CL, Scaglietti even). The A7 should be that vehicle based off the 8. You could even do a convertible version to go after the SL. The old A8 Coupe was gorgeous. This CLS-wannabe (while I can see how Audi's quality would steal Benz customers) is in a segment where there isn't that much to go after.

@ dbehmoaras "...overall better car..." - my a$$!

Perhaps it's just me but their desing direction was really pushed too far to the extreme with this car. I mean it seems UGLY.

A 8 coupe! i want one please

Not enough of a market for the A5 Sportback? As an owner of an A4, these guys don't know that they're talking about. I would have bought an A5 Sportback over my A4 any day. Look how well the CC has sold in the U.S. Doesn't Audi NA realize that the people buying A4s aren't filling up the back seats anyway?

My, My, My all you marketing experts. I love reading all these silly comments about Audi developing too many models. There is a huge shift underway... and that my friends has happened in every market segment we live in. It's called "fashion"! The level of manufacturing has risen to the level that allows variety versus compromise. It's a "Consumer" market, and with advanced Engineering, Design and Manufacturing capabilities, these different models allow companies like Audi to reach many niche markets. So my guess is those who gripe about have choice are just frustrated they can't have or afford any of them. These are the same folks who have forced all car manufacturers to produce such "boring" colors as well. So all of you go buy your BLACK on BLACK mass produced auto, and feel safe that that's what everyone else is driving too! Wake up people the world has changed!
