    I like it but will be able to compete with the 3-series? It looks kind of big I just wonder if that might compensate the handling a bit.

    Hopefully it'll be as good to drive as recent Audis

    EDIT: after more inspection, the only thing i don't like about it is the rear lights, but i used to hate the Q7 lights and now i love them, so... Waiting to see this lil beast in the metal
    Like he said, I'm really not a BMW fan other than Z4 Coupe/X5/3series Coupe, the A5 looks more aggressive and I think will be well on it's way to knock the 3series coupe from it's castle.

    Making it Quattro could make it too heavy, FWD exists on the TT, so it could end up on this, but RWD sounds like it could make it into this big coupe.
    Audi only does FWD and quattro.

    Oh and Audi: at least you could be a BIT original. Ah well.

    Yes, it feels like they'll go that way. One can always wish right?

    RS5 anyone?

    Edit- looks like there's a proper manual too!

    Okay, so we're agreed on the back looking like a 3 coupe, but what the hell is going on at the front? Are they actually previous-shape A4 lights, or is it just me?

    Some technical datas, which are known up to now:

    4.6 meters long

    engines:
    2.0 TFSI with 177hp
    3.2 FSI with 255hp
    3.0 TDI with 233hp

    S5 with 4.2 V8 and 350hp
    RS5 maybe with the 420hp V8 out of the RS4

    I'm sure he meant S5 and RS5 respectively.

    And to me it looks like a BMW 3-series Coupe with an Audi front end. Not bad but not remarkable either.

    BTW the 2007 needs removing from the thread title.
    Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.

    Being nice since 2007.

    Hope I'm not going to offend anyone, but the curved lines on the sides look like Audi took an A4, removed the back doors and melted the bodywork a bit...

    Well that's what it's supposed to be, isn't it?

    Not sure, I think it would've looked nicer with the usual Audi straight lines. Then again, that's just me.
