A5/S5/RS5 [Official] The new Audi A5/S5 Coupe

The Audi A5 is a series of compact executive and grand touring coupé cars produced by Audi. Production: 2007-
Interior is stunning. This is how interior should look in a car for that price - looks like 2 classes higher than interior in BMW 4 series IMO.

I like it a lot, overall it is great car. I can't wait to see it in flesh and try it.
 
Why all the fuss about the interior? It's the A4's interior... Not saying it's not nice, but we've seen it before... Nothing new...
 
Well, after the fugly Q2, Q7, A4, and tepid R8 and TT, finally a proper looking, nice, understated Audi once again. Still like its greenhouse more than C Coupe and 4er Coupe.
 
Still undecided about the exterior but I surely agree with the consensus on the interior... While the C-class Coupe is an improvement over its predecessor, the A5 interior is still better ; and the 4-series leaves a lot to be desired inside, unfortunately

Personally, I think this is a mess. For me, it's further confirmation that VWAG got stuck in (an admittedly handsome) design rut, across all their brands, and are now at a loss for what to do next, so they've just messed up the old design. I also had a good look around the new A4 today, and I think that suffers the same problem.
 
Agreed @lukeswiss and @Matski. It's attractive, but there is no passion. There is no emotion. Like the A4 and Q7, they've taken the predecessor, added more crispness to the detailing and thrown on some new headlights and tail lights for good measure.

The interior is typically Audi excellent in presentation. That said local reviews have found the new A4 riddled with rattles and squeaks. Audi has mastered creating a visual and tactile sense of superior build that doesn't necessarily translate to reality.
 
Interior is on point
Rear is super love those lights..
But the front is almost cartoonishly mean mugged,, it looks funny..
Side profile is not sleek as i like my coupes, its more like a 4 door minus the rear doors.
 
I can't help seeing hints of Model S and Rapide S in the front
and is this the first Audi with this kind of bonnet? looks very Jaguar like...
 
I think it's a disappointment. The original A5 is one beautiful car, this one is not too different, but a step backwards. The front is boring, and the sharper creases overdone by comparison. And I really dislike the hood opening at the main side crease, messier here than in the A4 because of the change in curvature between the front fender and door, needing that weird piece of metal to smooth out the transition. Amateurish design, IMHO.
 
it looks better in the flesh

I love the gen one, think it put real pressure on BMW and Mercedes, BMW went so far as to change their naming convention because the A5 coupe seemed like such a more premium model.

This is a solid iteration, but I find the chrome around the glasshouse and front bumper of the S5 distracting. Not lust inspiring, but I'm looking forward to seeing it. E-class coupe isn't a competitor, but I'm certainly looking forward to what Mercedes accomplishes with that.
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
