2007 GENEVA AUTO SHOW- Audi makes a prettier coupe than the Mercedes CL, BMW 6 and 335? First real photos

That is not it. This is fake stuff as the real A5 will be shown in 14 days, 8 hours, 56 minutes and 10 seconds.

EL34, how could the Skyline GT-R look like the A5 when the A5 was released after the GT-R's design? You need to make some sense here.

If this is the car, they sure have done a good job...at blending audi with 3-series design.

If you audi people can't see a bmw from the rear-then you guys are blind.

All honesty its a great looking car.

Nice! Thanks 001. Hmmm.. . I like it! Just looking at those seats is making me comfortable.

I’m waiting for show debut for better judgment; but one thing kinda worries me. Why the Saab-esque placement on the Start/Stop button? That’s always been a peeve of mine about Saab and not a trait that any car company should mimic. Ever. I don’t want to reach for seat heating, or navigation or any of the other 20 controls next to the shifter, and accidentally turn the car off.

Better design than a CLS?or a 6 series?. you have to be kidding me, this is a straight knock-off off the new 3series coupe', which i must say is such a beautiful car, everytime i see the new 3 series coupe' i stare with amazement, i have an M6 and me here driving in my badass car lol and along comes a hot chick driving the new 3series coupe'lol best sight ever!! This AUDI does look nice though, but come on not better than those that were mentioned!

It's nice but I'm honestly a little disappointed with how it turned out.

The back looks like a mix of the G35 & 3er coupe, & it’s just not as nice as I thought it was going to be. Though I did feel the same way when I first saw the new 3-series coupe. As far as being nicer than the CL, 6-series, & 335i...I don’t think so.

The CL is a very elegant looking vehicle, the 6 is such a fascinating design to look at (I find new angles in which to look at it everyday), & the 3 coupe manages to looks way more striking than the new A5.

3 series coupe is so much more in one, this has some wrong lines, if you follow the one along the top of the side and bottom and look at the window line, i dont like that. It is a A6 indside and borring.
335i for me:)

When I look at this car, I am reminded of the first generation Mercedes-Benz CLK. I do like how Audi has morphed the grill once-again and taken a step closer to the feel of the original Auto Union grills.
I'm anxious to see the A5 offically debut.

If you are going to go to this much trouble to produce a Nuvolari concept and the end result is basically the old A4 convertible with the A6 front and interior and TT seats, why bother?

Too plain, interior should be way more funky, not last gen A6.

I am not sure what all of you consider a good looking car? There should be an unsaid rule when commenting on the way a car looks for this blog. Once you say something bad about the car, you then have to say what car in that same class is "good looking" and why? I think your criteria's elude me? As for Larry, Audi always eats away at Merc's and Bimmer's bottom line and they are knocking on both those companies doors.

Audi makes a prettier coupe than the Mercedes CL, BMW 6 and 335???

No, simple.

However it is a good looking car, simply looks like a larger TT. Front and side look okay, back looks a little messy compared to A4.

IMO Audi are in danger of making their cars too similar. Yes they look okay, and yes it's good for brand identity which Audi will need to help achieve their desired growth... but I remember when BMW were criticised for just making the same car in 3 different sizes... people get bored with predictable looking cars - Audi should to be wary of this.

001 seems to have a habit of calling feminine designs "stunning".

This is mundane. It looks like Audi got pics of a Dodge Avenger, Honda Prelude, prev gen CLK, and a Mazda Millenia and mashed a car design togehter.
And that interior is attrocious. Nothing elegant or sporty about it.

This is certainly not the real thing! This is a poor photoshop that doesn't even come close to the CLS. Even the M6 looks better albeit marginally. The link immediately below shows the official pictures from Fourtitude (they tend to publish reasonably accurate pictures)

http://www.fourtitude.com/gallery/gallery3.php?mode=view&album=/Design/Photoshop%20Illustrations/George@Fourtitude&pic=022.jpg&start=&dispsize=800

Now edmunds has this below as the 2008 A5, but it is really the 2003 Nuvolari concept which was the A5 precursor anyway... Now that's a kick-ass coupe that blows away the CLS

http://www.edmunds.com/vehiclepicture.100543719.f.20103766.html

Now compare the original Nuvolari concept picture below to the fourtitude pictures and you'll see why I'll put my money on those pictures...They're close enough

It's pretty apparent from the number of pictures of the mechanical bits visible beneath the skin that this is the real thing.
I think it's a nice car overall, okay profile (I particularly like the very thin roof line above the side windows), nice swoopy character line (unfortunately that line brings to mind the Toyota Solara), clean rear styling; on whole it's fairly cohesive. The front end is the best element of the design, it's interesting and aggressive and though I was an early critic of the huge grill, I guess I've become accustomed to it and it works with this car. However, the front design seem to fit the theme of the rest of the car. This design, like other Audi's, is a little too clean and sanitized, to the point that it's kind of plain (except the front end).
Also, why can't any other automakers build pillarless coupes like M-B?
Is it prettier than the other coupes? That's highly subjective, I think the Audi fans here will love it, it does look modern and distinct and will be received well by enthusiasts. I think Audi will sell everyone they can build.

i agree with most on this topic about it being a pretty nice car, but it is in now way a better looking car than the 335coupe, CLS or the 6-series ... The key to Audi's success with this car will be the pricing and the engines that are available. If they come out with a price more than the 335 coupe and less powerful, this car will fail ... This is a very touchy moment for Audi and its followers. As a side note, I dont really care for the mmi controller to be up on the dash the way it is. Why would they do that? For someone tall like me, it is a bit un-ergonomical to be reaching to change and adjust nav & radio settings while driving .....

Yuck.Soooooo ugly,boring.Pure crap.

BTW i notice that headlights are straight from New Toyota Aurion Sedan.

This shows,Audi copying Toyota,BMW,Infiniti G...etc

Very bad.As good the R8 is,this is the complete opposite.

The more I look at it the more I like it, but even still I thought it was going to have more of a fastback coupe look to it. It looks stronger than a 3-series coupe but not as good.

The interior is great as usual, however Audi needs to quit making them all look like the A6's interior, they're starting to loose points on originality & ultimately in character too.

Meh...it looks uneventful. Nothing really to write home about. However, I will say it does look better than the new 3-series. It's a bit more suttle, and refined than the 3-series.

I'd stick with a CLS though, personally.

What I love about Audis are the perfect clean lines. This has the whole Elantra/Solara curviness going on. Not feeling it. And the A6 interior (which this mirrors) is my least favorite. I much prefer the one pod shape of the A4 or A8, not the swooping down the center stack combo in the A6 (and now A5). It's a good thing I always take covertibles over coupes, because the A4 still looks good.

Very, very well done. I'd like to see a higher-level interior, perhaps with wood trim- that would look more exotic.

Otherwise, boys, if you think this looks like a 3 Series coupe from the rear, think again. That slim headlight design started at Audi four years ago, with the introduction of the Nuvolari concept and current-generation A8. This is just an evolution of the theme.

Not to kill a dead horse, but I wish that the side body lines were not killed in head/tail lamp edges.

Who knows what it would have looked like and maybe they tried it and saw it didn't work any other way.

Not that it is not obvious but some of the reflections along the body are not accurate to what the surfaces might indicate. The highlights are exagerated for effect. This is obviously because these are not actual pictures.

This car is the beginning of the end for BMW. Historically, image conscious yet brand ignorant bought BMW because of their performance advantage. Now, Audi is offering for the first time Quattro with 40/60 RWD bias and an engine placed behind the front wheels, rather than infront.

Better handling, more of a sports car feel, and domination in rain, ice, or snow. Add the fact that Audi's interior materials and MMI blow away BMW's cheapo, Fisher Price interior and challenged I-Drive, there's really no reason to consider the 328/335i.

Of course you will have those who are blindsighted and will continue to see BMW as the better brand, but this car is better than the 3 in every way. Just wait until the sedan and Avant come out.

I also predict that the A5/S5, TT, and R8 will drive up sales of the Q7 and A6. A4 sales will drop because that car is very old.

All of Audi's new products will utilize the setup I described above. The A4 sedan I predict will come very close to beating the 3 in sales and performance.
Audi will sell atleast 120k units in the US for '07.

I am relatively ambivalent about the design of this car. It’s okay. Would I describe it as sexy? No, I really don’t think so; to me sexy is lithe as well. Pretty? Sure. There is something about the rear-end that looks sedan-like in a way. Of course, I would like to actually see it in person before really commenting on it.

Nice car. Nice lines.
But what I see is a VW EOS with a hardtop (nice hardtop, mind you) and bigger wheels.
And I think the EOS has too much metal between side-glass and rear wheel arch (a predominantly Asian design trend).
But somehow they created a nicely balanced design.
Interior looks somewhat dated, and anything resembling a joy-stick/selector knob in a car turns me off (thoughts of "I-drive").
But at least it appears to have a useful rear seat ... unlike my buddy's 645 that I rode in yesterday.

Does anyone know about pricing?

What's the point of arguing which looks better when it's just personal opinion anyways? It's a good looking car, so after that who cares about this flame war garbage. I'm more interested in the technical specs to see how it stacks up against the 3-series coupe.
