Interesting, but it looks a lot like a cross between a BMW 335i Coupe and Hyundai Triburon, imho.

At least, they got the cup holders in the right spot, unlike some other Bavarian companies.

Very interesting. And with DSG.

kapoo · 02-20-2007, 04:45 PM

New info, there saying that the A5 is going to rival the 335i Coupe and new G35 Coupe. Though im thinking that the 335i wont have a hard time with it

We will just have to wait and see...

Jch330 · 02-20-2007, 04:53 PM

I like it a lot, an S5 with DSG could be pretty tempting....

the car looks nice but some of the lines on it are straight off of a 335i coupe.

DFW_M · 02-20-2007, 06:02 PM

whatever...looks kick ass inside and out...
Too bad the handling will not be close to the e92...

i like it, but at this angle (pic below) the front does look a bit funky looking.

The S5 looks a bit better than the A5 (although I'm still feeling the "Triburon" lines on that thing), but I bet it will be priced similarly or even higher than the S4...~ '08 BMW M3 territory. I like the BMW M6-looking wheels!

It may be worthy a test drive and comparison in a couple years, but for right now, I'm enjoying my XEDE-equipped (soon PROcede-equipped) BMW 335i so much that it's hard to even think of what's next. :rocks:

So will they update the powertrains to be competitive? Don't get me wrong the 2.0TFSI and 3.2 V6 are nice, but 200hp and 255hp are not going to cut it especially when this car will probably outweigh the already heavy A4.

if you like the 3er Coupe more than A5 then please go here and vote for E92.

Choose the car you like and hit the "Rosta" button.

looking at the poll A5 has more votes than 3er Coupé

BMW320i · 02-24-2007, 01:43 AM

not bad looking, the S5 would defenetly be a good opponent to the 335i (4.2 V8, 340hp)

it looks great but i agree, some lines are similler to the E92...
