Re: Does A5 really deserve to wear separate (A5) label?

Well now, it would be grossly inappropriate if people went around saying "It's just a bloody 3er Coupe after all - so BMW ought to call it the 340i Sport!"

We car fans prefer the idea of an M3, because we have an appreciation of what's underneath.

Similarly, if Audi deem the A5 to special enough (it is) to be given its own moniker, then who are we to argue. I think its more than adequately differentiated from its quite clearly less exclusive family saloon sibling.

A4 Coupe is logical only to the most blinkered of anti-Audi lobbyists.
