Not when you consider it competes against the 6-Series.

that depends on who you ask, not everyone thinks its compete with 6er.

In sweden there is going to be a 1.8T with 170hp for A5 and a very low price (lower than the topversion of Volvo V70). The cheapest 6er cost almost 3 times more than the cheapest A5.
So in my opinion A5 compete with 3er Coupe and not 6er.
Also the A5 is getting similar prices as A4 here in Sweden. Another reason why it doesnt compete with 6er.

Fair enough, well I guess the lower models will compete against the 3-Series ware the S/RS5 versions will go against the 6-Series. I guess their trying 2 kill to birds with 1 stone. Do you know which model it's closer to in size?

Do you really think so? In NA we only get the 650i... where the V8 A5 ?

IMO, it's sorta like with the CLK, in between the 3er & 6er... only the A5 i would consider closer to the 3er.

All I know is that I had the money to shop for a 6er, I wouldn't even consider the A5. But to each his own I guess.

Not sure about his one either... compare apples with apples. You can't really compare S/RS against regular 6ers?

I don't understand your first paragraph.

[Choleric]

Hmm the pricing came out huh?

I am dissapointed, I can get an S4 for almost the price of a 3.2 A5.

Hopefully the A5 is a beast performance wise, I guess we'll have to find out.

And with the S5 being almost 10K more than a 335i it better out perform it, which I am skeptical, but we'll see.

I simply don't think you can directly compare the A5 to the 6er due to the lack of a V8 model (non S/RS)... at least in north america, since the 6er is only available with a V8 and up. So if Audi enters the american market with a six cylinder, it is not aiming directly at the 6er.

[Choleric]

This will not compete against the 6er, Audi was aiming directly at the 3er with this, hence the similar pricing but as usual the Audis are more expensive. Get what you pay for I guess. Audi has been saying for a long time they need a competitor for the 3er coupe. And the RS5 wil compete against the M3 not any 6er.

Audis are usually cheaper than BMW's and Mercedes' in the UK.
