BTW they said something funny in the article:

the interior of the E-Coupe is supposed to remind of an airplane: the center heater is the "motor", and the alu decoration going from it to the side of the car are the wings... That ain't false in a sense... Weird isn't it?

I see too much C209 in that shape, bubble shaped and too rounded. So until I see the new E Coupe in person, the Audi looks better to me.

For me, purely on looks S5> E coupe >>> A5.

Something about the vanila A5's front end that completely throws in off.

I must say that I can't honestly answer this. When the A5 first came out, I thought it sucked donkey balls, but over time I have come to love the design. Actually, that's an understatement. Now, every time I see this car on the road (which isn't much around here) I get all giddy inside. I want an A5 with S-line package so bad it's not even funny. There is a SICK ass black one at my school. It's lowered and is sitting on dark RS4 rims.

On the other hand, I love this new E-coupe. I didn't like the old one as much because it was too rounded, too mild. This new one is exactly what the old one wasn't, this is angular, loud and more man-ish. Although, this red color on the car sucks, and dare I say that red looks bad on ALL MB models except the Black series.

I'll save my Final judgment until I see the E-coupe in person, but until then I'll have to vote for my lust right now and that is the A5.

The E-coupe is exactly the the opposite of the a5 : it looks really good on first sight, then it becomes normal. The a5 is a design that grows on you. Right?

While I agree that A5 is a design that grows on you, I cannot yet answer if the E has the opposite effect. I would have to see it in real life and take a good look at it from all angles before I can finally judge.

I had to do the same thing with the A5 the first time I saw it in person. I walked all around the car, looking at it from all different angles. The receptionist at the dealer was looking at me weird while I was walking around the car, LOL.
