I think it looks cleaner but if you parked it next to a 335i or C350 coupe it would still stand out. Would look better if fog-light trim was blacked out too.

eh really not digging it

Glad to see the coupe finally getting the supercharged six instead of that lame lump of a V8. Looks better in real world pics than the marketing pics I'd seen. Still a much better looking car than the competition, hopefully the F32 isn't even softer than the E92.

Unsurprisingly, it looks like a less aggressive version of the refreshed RS5. (Still looks good, though).

Crazy that Audi has changed the look of those taillights three times now.

I don't like the curvy side line. And for some reason the C-pillar reminds me of a challenger.

I love reading the comments on Audi in this forum. It never fails.

That facelift looks better the more I see it and I can only imagine how much more presence it will have in person.

Although this video shows the RS5, I think it gives a great representation of the new styling done to the A5 range.

Legato2057 · 03-14-2012, 03:10 PM

I like it.

Doctor///M · 03-14-2012, 03:12 PM

Love the S steering wheels. They are sick!!

Z4MLover2012 · 03-14-2012, 03:29 PM

I love the way they look but I don't think the reliability is where it needs to be for me to pull the trigger on one.

Extremely nice car, though!

Robert · 03-14-2012, 03:47 PM

Love the engine noise but the styling is too plain. I fell absolutely in love with the S5 at initial release however I have seen quite a few S5 in the last few days, not sure if owners did not take care of them, (dirty and grimmie) and they look bland like my Lexus

It is all good. I think the A5/S5/RS5 is the best looking in the segment. No Audi hate here.

CAPSGOD · 03-14-2012, 04:09 PM

Its a bit bland.. I will take an RS4 Wagon please and thankyou

Tony135 · 03-14-2012, 05:04 PM

^^ Wow that RS4 picture looks amazing. Best photo I've seen of it yet!

az34 · 03-14-2012, 05:42 PM

it looks great,l love the cabin.

TK-421 · 03-14-2012, 06:40 PM

The only thing I like is the all red tails. The two tone seats belong in a car from midnight club, the steering wheel center is ungodly fat, the copy and paste Audi headlight lights look just as bad on this car as all the others. The only current Audi I find appealing is that sexy ass RS4 pictured above - oh lawd.

back screams new jetta to me

I'm so glad someone else shares my view on this car. I have yet to encounter another person who agrees that the side line is just odd and the C pillar looks like an afterthought. If you're going to go curves, then go curves... don't do a mix of curves and chops - it just doesn't flow properly.

Yeah, everyone thinks Audi looks so great. To me they are just a blob with fancy headlights. And on their new A4/S4/A5/S5 the headlights look so awkward on the car. And those LED lights look so tacky. Hell I'd go so far to say Chrysler's are classier than Audi's.

Basically this.^

The A5/S5/RS5 design has aged terribly imo. I used to love this car but I'm honestly bored of it now, and the refresh is even worse (besides the taillights).

Year's_End · 03-15-2012, 12:29 PM

Plus I don't care for that RS4's front or rear designs either. They look very chunky and toy-like.
