I'm thinking a bit of both. In size more agaist 6-series, but in price I don't think it will be as expensive as a 6 series. So it could compete with the 3 series. On the other hand the 3 series coupé has grown a lot, interior-wise, so it could be mainly 6 series.

Nonetheless, it looks like Audi will pull a "Q7" once more: produce a car that can compete against different segments from the competition.

I think I'll end up liking it, Audi is really on to something if the R8's exterior design is anything to go by for all future Audi's. On top of that they have a testing facility on the Nurburgring which is sure to yield impressive road dynamics for their cars in the future.

It will be between the two in size but the price will be close to E92. What my source told me is that Audi has made a very practical coupe with very good space in the rear seat and in the trunk. It can carry four adults and their luggage with no problem which is not the case with most coupes out there.

Sounds good to me. Just as long as they keep it within 3er pricing it will be a popular, well received choice of premium transportation.

With the base engine being a 1.8 TFSI, surely the 3er coupe.

For some reason I have the feeling that the A5 will steal a lot of the E92's thunder, seriously.

Re: New Audi A5 (spy pics & info), thread 2 - 11-24-2006, 04:15 PM

I think it is a straight 3er competitor with maybe a slightly bigger body. The 1.8l engine clearly sugggest so.
