But now... That wasn't there.

Believe it or not..I'm disapointed. My first thought were the front and rear lights. Front is to "corny". The lights should have more smooth lines then that. And the rear... Sorry but I see a BMW 3-series in there. And one thing I don't want to see in an Audi is something from a BMW.

The only two great things I see so far in this car is the side profile and the interior. Nobody beats Audi in the interior still. And I like the new rims too.

Excuse me, but I have to go and ....
Thanks for being honest Audiholic... I agree with you.

Mixed feelings, need to see the car for a definite opinion. But this is certainly not the best design of Mr DaSilva.

The Audi A5

First tought:
Looks not so good in photos - WILL Look like a true Killer & Exclusive Car in real life!

I love this photo.. The Profile , The Rims , The Coupe Line - I think I will love it when I finally can touch it, smell it , feel it.. Drive it!


I only now have one complaint for my fellow friend W. D'Silva -

The Rear:
Seat Seat Seat.. and it's an old seat



Overall, First Verdict:

It's like Audi told us, Bentley Lines!
I must say it's wrong to compare it to the Nuvolari (Nuvolari is the BEST)

The overhang is little - Good
The interior is Audi class / work of art.
The overall bodyline is great..

Do I like it ?
YES very much!
More than the TT ?
Yes Indeed!
Do I want one ?
Of course!
Why ?
Because it's a Audi with soul and passion!
Just look at it.. Once more!

Re: Audi A5 Official Pictures - 02-20-2007, 08:11 AM

Wow.. ***.. is this the coupe reinvented.. LMAO..
Note to audi..dont bang your drum to hard.. for gods sake..this is the most bland and boring coupe ive seen sience the 80´s or something coming from germany..



Front is robbed of a A6 and then there has been a failed attempt to make it agressive..they just ended up with foglights like the eyes of a dinosaur..very disturbing..



Rear OMG could it be more boring.. looks like a FL 7er.. in some ways.. and very short and FAT.. not coupe like and elegant



The profile is the most disturbing.. WHAT is this car? a coupe or a hatchback..the sideprofile says hatchback.. with its over wide pillar..
very disturbing again



Interior is really hot.. thank god something is hot..

PS
Im with osna and hussein..

This car is not the coupe reinvented.. its a very disturbing coupe..
Come again and market it as a Modern Hatchback.. and i might like it..
For coupes i have higher expectations.. sorry audi.. and its fans..
no offense

Re: Audi A5 Official Pictures - 02-20-2007, 08:12 AM

hi guys. I have a question for you: Is the new V6 TDI the half of the V12 TDI seen on the Q7? Will the V6 TDI get the new Bosch injector capable of 2000 bar pressure? How many PS (BHP) ?
thank you.

I agree with the Artist, I don't like it at all.

BTW, the side reminds me of a VW Corrado. More hatch than coupe

The coupe reinvented........ LOL!!!!!

Re: Audi A5 Official Pictures - 02-20-2007, 08:43 AM

Hmm, pretty nice. But it has definitely some weird lines.

Just look at the line from the headlights to the real lights. All the latest designs have a straight line there, or one with a very very small curve. Now, this one is like mister DaSilva was a bit drunk. But it looks good

The interior is pretty much classic Audi style. Many buttons, driver oriented and always with much much black plastic, thing i have got really bored off. Com' on Audi, bring us something new! Oh, i also hate those bottle holders thing, that scream cheapness and lack of ideas on what to do. Just cover them like everyone else!

Other than that, pretty cool design, a car that the Audi range missed. I'm sure it will sell very good, but i still prefer the 3er

Thanks for the pics, south!

The S version, IMO, didn't change much...

I don't know, maybe many of us were expecting more...
