Someone who likes Audi's approach to making a well build , safe and fast/effective coupe might also say that 3er coupe fails to match A5.
totally agree, some people just prefer good interior over driving performance, and that's precisely why bmw fans like bmw because it delivers fun driving experience they seek.

i'd say audi does have the capability of building a car that's on par with bmw in terms of driving pleasure, if we look at r8 and rs4, previous gen rs6 as examples, because these cars are not compromised like the audi's regular line-up, but also note that these cars have an uncompromising price-tag.

btw, i am a little disappointed at the a5. audi shouldn't have claimed so boldly that this is goin to be match or beat bmw at its own game.
