Fantastic looking there!

That's hands down the best German interior. The fit and finish is above its class, technology is cutting edge but cocktail very ergonomic. My favorite extra is alcantara on the door panels.

Yes it looks FANTASTIC. But if it's like the A4 there's evidence it's going to rattle and creak with age. Quite a few complaints down under in relation to the A4 on brand new vehicles.

The more I see of it the uglier it becomes.

What I dislike most is the Parkinsons character line.

So disappointing to hear that because upon initial acquaintances the interior appears and feels to be very solidly put together.

This has to be a joke. I am not laughing.

Agreed, 100%. Interior looks fantastic, not so much the exterior. I mean, it's nice and all, but the character line nearly ruins the whole car for me.

Sat in an S5 at Goodwood last Thursday. The Audi PR man was very keen to point out the bonnet shut lines.

He must be a PR man for @klier (the bonnet shut line master!)

This 3/4 view of the front is not my favorite as the grill and lights somehow look disjointed. The elongated lights make the front overhang look longer and the grill looks great headon but in 3/4 view it appears to look unsymmetrical.

Well the shutline are pretty special. And quite nice I must say. Audi makes great shutlines. It's just a shame the character line on the side is drawn by a blind kid

And even when it was straight; a character line becoming a shutline is not ideal in my book. But the idea is commendable.

It looks horrible in shots like this one:

The dislike is real.

In some photos it almost looks like somebody crashed into the side:

The character line does not look nice in this pic, maybe its the colour of the car and light conditions that really bring out the awkwardness of the curved character line on the front fender. The nose also looks elongated alot with those squinted lights.

I dont know why I much prefer the 1st gen A5 styling to this one. Even the previous Sportback looked much better than this new version.
