Appearance; A5 or 335i

[Deutsch]

Thanks TA, that was nicely done. OK, my verdict is in; A5 is uber sexy while the E92 looks plain jane, honestly.

I'd say it's too early to compare these cars. We've only seen a couple of pics of the A5. I'll just wait until I've seen it IRL.

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.?

The A5 probably does look nice IRL too but nice isn't enough these days. It is dissapointing that it has aalmost the same front as the A6, which is now a 2 years old car. Audi do need to step it up if they want to beat BMW and MB in sales. With the new TT and R8 I thought they was aiming towards the stars but the A5 is big step back in design.
I love the interior of the newer Audis but as someone has mentioned the interior of the A5 looks a bit 90s, the center console that is.

Agreed Luw, tought isn't the A6 3-4 years old ?!

Cars are like women.

What kind of wife / girl / lady / mistress do you prefer?

Perfectly beautiful with excellent taste, with amazing details (eg. teeth), but quite boring & blend, with average personality, looking like her numerous clone-sisters,

or ... a non-perfect one, being a bit extravagant, yet interesting, witty, active, not classic yet unconventional beauty, with great & developed personality.




PS: I prefer the second one.

It probably it. Imagine how dated the A5 will look if the A6 gets a dramatically face lifted front end.

Agreed.
Very strange that we have a hot and cold one from the same manu. in such a short period of time.

 

[audi_rudy]

i choose A5, its a beautiful car but i do agree with you the more i look at it that it may look dated in the near future.

Good point. The A6's mug has worn pretty well and still feels relatively new to me. I can only imagine that the A6's facelift will be rather minor. Perhaps just some newfangled lighting elements and a revised front fascia.

 

[Zafiro]

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

say that again

Speaking of A6, IMHO it's perfect in its design as an Audi in this class. It has the same problem as the MB SL, how can they make it any better with another facelift (or with the new model) when it already is perfect.

You are probably going to snap at me, but last time I remember you loved the E92 and how it looked... guess not

 

[Habitual Speeder]

I've abstained from voting. Neither car stands out, really...especially, considering they have such similar back ends.

Dang JM, those are real nice. The 3er just looks so coherent to me. MIght not be a headturner a la Z4, but you can always change that.

[klier]

I think I am the only one who thinks the interior of the 3er is much better and clear than the A5
Exterior wise, I am not even going to start.The E92 kills the A5 in my book, from every angle *front in particular*

And since car design is such a subjective thing, I have sometime ago decided to not participate in design discussions anymore...there is no point IMO

smart decision
imho, i think the a5 looks better than both 3er coupe and the Novulari concept

 

[Matt]

I keep hearing about this novulari concept-and from the pictures ive seen-i dont really understand what is so damn special about it. It looks like a TT on lots of roids. I think the A5 is more original...

However i honestly think the 3 series is a better looking car-on the exterior. THe A5's interior is probably a notch or two up on the scale. Nevertheless i really like the three series interior.

 

[sunnyman12]

A5 is an ugy car..thats settled...interior is okay but to space aged..not comforting like the bimmer...that curve on the side is just goofy like the hyundai elantra's...the 3er is on a whole other echelon
