Opinion: Whilst it can be argued that the current Audi design language is mature and cohesive to the point of monotony, I believe that the trick in appreciating the model differentiation in the Audi range is to look beyond the detail styling elements and view the cars as single, complete articles in the holistic sense.

In my rudimentary appreciation of the marque I have to admit that, despite the repetitive use of detail styling elements, an Audi A8 looks nothing like an A6 which looks nothing like an A4 which, in turn, looks nothing like an A5. The silhouettes, proportions and basic shapes are very different. In my opinion an A5 actually doesn't look like a two door A4, whereas an E92 very much does look like a 2 door E90... if you get my drift.

So, by the same token as the title of this thread I could ask the same question: "Shouldn't the X6 be called the X5 Coupe?" ... or rather X5 Slanty-Bum ;D
