Appearance; A5 or 335i

[Lateralus]

335i gets my vote, although the A5 is nice looking too. Maybe it's just me, but the A5 is just too Audish, nothing new, kinda nicely boring IMO. The 335i on the other side is very fresh.

I can't believe I'm actually doing this but it'll also probably be the first and last time I will be voting for the 3 series coupe anywhere! I am sorry but I really do feel the A5 is a step backwards in Audi design. They give us something great (well atleast relatively) in the form of the R8 and now this?
I even feel the rear of the A5 is worse than the 3 coupe and thats saying something considering the rear is the worst (IMO) aspect of the 3!!!!
So Sorry Audi fans, but this time my vote goes to the Beemer. Hopefully till the next poll MAYBE I will be able to see it in the flesh and MAYBE it will change my mind.

P.S. I am not a BMW loyalist so its really not a matter of brand bias.

Here are tho quite same angles:




Actually, the beemer has a more nicer front...

When pictured side by side with the 335i I actually am starting to like the way the A5 looks more and more.

Give it a chance, I'm sure it will grow on you!

Yeah it probably will, I was the same with the MK2 TT.

I think the A5's side profile is awesome though. Richboy you should add some side profile pics to your first post

That's true, thanks!

The official pictures don't do the 335i justice. It is one hell of a looker IRL. I prefer the 335i by far. It is more unique than the A5 which has just about the same front as the rest of the Audis, it will date very quickly. The A5 just doesn't do it for me.

Hey, I don't like the A5 that much either, but your post doesn't make sence. How do you know that the A5 doesn't look really good IRL too.?

I prefare this:

it's interesting that once you add the bmw badge on the a5, it shows just how un-bmw it looks. if u know what i mean.

Both pics are sick, I wasn't fond of the 3-Series until I saw it IRL. Something tells me if the A5 is given a chance, it will have the same stengthing appeal!

^^ Damn! That 3er is HOT!!!

Great just_me. Those should be in the first post.

Okay, the first pic: Hands down A5

The 2nd... God help me. I am seing two BMW's!!!

The third, sorry BMW..you are still miles behind Audi in the interior.

 

[YoUhimhER]

may be i am blind, but i fail to see any similarities between the 3 coupe and a5, on the other hand, i see some current a4 and a8 in a5's tail lamp.

edit: for example

the tail lamp is now wider and with more pronounced contra-direction line. other than that it's an evolution of the a4's tail light.
