the sides are a pretty close copy to the 335, aswell as the back, the front atleast has some originality

but as the above said, most of the car companies do it

Copy???
I see nothing similar except 4 wheels and 2 doors...
The rear is 10x better than the Bimmer (always has been), the front is as on any other Audi for past few years. The side-view looks more like Dodge Charger than 335 anyway...335 is much sleeker...

yea it just has some lines like the 335... since either way that is a car to compete with the 335... just call that an answer from Audi to BMW for the 335

are you surprised by this? Just like there are too many Acura FANBOYS on the forums for Acura. I do not think they are really alike though.

Acura fanboys that are paranoid that cars out there copy Acura?....
most like Japanese car will copy Euro design.....but hey I won't say that in my board. However, I don't think I saw a comment about yah BMW, Audi, MB copy Acura ....lol

at least in Acura we know when we are beat and we'll actually watch the video

the flow of the vehicle is very similar to E92 imo.
though performance doesn't seem to be too promising.
atm, E92 over A5.

+1, audi has engineered a great car that has very few similarities with the e92, and even if they are supposedly copying, it should be taken as a compliment

Ugly is a little harsh IMO...Audi's are very nice cars too...used to have a B6 A4 3.0...their AWD is wonderful.
