Audi A5 (8T) 2007-2015

Audi A7 Sportback Concept

there is no mention whatsoever to it being an A5 or an A7, it's just "Sportback".
this is not the name game.

Whatever.. believe in what you want.

Sure. It wouldn't be the first (neither the last) I could be wrong, but the same goes for journalists and websites.

I look at it (spy shots that is), it's like a CLS, and it doesn't look much smaller.
So it's a sort of Volkswagen CC in Audi clothes? I'd have called it A4 Sportback, not A5.

I guess they call it the A5, because the A4 Coupe is called the A5.

I don't mind the Phaeton, nice and understated. Definitely not my car, and definitely not an VW.
The CC seems good looking, but the lateral view of the rear part is working, it's like a bubble, it's not fluent as it should considering which kind of car a style it is.
I don't think as a VW is the right car. VW has expanded too much it's line-up and now it doesn't have a specific image or role in the VAG group.
If not as an Audi, the CC shouls have be sold as a Seat, with more sportiness attached, as they keep saying they want Seat as their own Alfa Romeo.
To b honest, Skoda itself is going "off topic" in my opinion. They keep selling, sure, so probably their plans are working, but to my eyes is just all VW and a big mess.

I was waiting for something...more.
that copy and paste of the CLS rear end didn't work so well.
Price is interesting, could kill the Passat CC if not the A4 itself, as this doesn't appear so different from it as the CLS from the E, or the CC from the standard Passat.
All in all, yawn.

I like the concept of a sports hatch.

what's odd about this?

It's not the usual sports saloon.

By the way, it really is A4 sized (4710/1850/1390mm). That leaves room for an hipotetic A7 Sportback.
