The front view and the back view looks fantastic. The shape of the rear lights make the car look wider than it is. The front 3/4 view is ok, the curvy wavy waistline still haven't grown on me yet.

very nice, but I think the red color is horrible. Black seats would be better.

The car is photogenic at all. I think the front looks a bit squat and cramped. It might look better in real life though.

I want to see IRL photos of a silver or a grey A5.

Not photogenic? If it's not photogenic and still looks great then if it was photogenic how would it look? Out of this world?

This car does follow the design rule that the overall height is no greater than twice the diameter measurement of the wheels ....but somehow the wheels look too small to me. What do you guys think?

I felt the same way about the proportions of VW Passat .....but when I saw it IRL, it looked fine. It is funny how things can look different in photographs.

I remember their being a lot of discussion about the S5's side profile looking odd, I think this pic should put that to rest!

i think its because he used a wide angle lens. it tends to distort the image when used really closely to the subject.

i think it has something to do with the curved outlines above the wheel wells. if audi had pursued more angular shapes like...say a wedge like mercedes did then it would probably look a bit more sporty. i'd really like to see this car irl.
