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. |
Thats the problem!
Audi is purposely out there to try and beat BMW in it's own game. Even their former Chairman, Martin Winterkorn has said "we will beat BMW in their own game". If you make a claim such as that, then you would expect your products to reflect it. But unfortunately it's just not beeting BMW on "it's own game" i.e driving dynamics.
The S5/A5 isn't a bad car, in fact i believe it's a good car overall. But Audi has billed it as something that would really challenge BMW dynamics- it's the reason why they developed the MLP architecture in the first place.
