Wooo, I knew you'd bring out the big guns with that A4 Cabrio example. It's quite simple; at the time there wasn't an A5, the A4 was clearly the base model for a long-awaited Cabrio that skipped a generation with the B5. So, when you look at an A4 Cabrio its donor is unmistakeable - especially considering that A4 Cabrio has the front of an A4 grafted onto a cabrio. The A5 shares nothing with the A4 whatsover in terms of sheetmetal.

I'm willing to bet that there won't be an A4 Cabrio. There'll be an Avant for sure, but the Cabrio will be based off the A5. To me that makes plenty sense.

For the record, I'm not an Audi fan, nor am I a BMW fan or a Merc fan. I just like good cars that (importantly) appeal to my value drivers.
