Too sexy.

Did you get the red interior by any chance? That would've set it off.

Like the concept a lot, hard to get an idea of how it looks just based on the build photos, but I think the 4 GC is the better looker at this point. Engine and options though look to be very good, and yes, if they come out with an RS5 sportback, that would be great (or just an RS5 avant for the US).

Confused, Is this the same platform/size as the A4 with the slope in the back?

or is it a different chassis A5 then its stretched?

Same platform, exact same layout as the 4GC is to the 3er. A five door hatch based on the coupe version of a sedan. Makes perfect sense, right?

I do find it better looking than the 4GC, but I'm in the minority that finds the 3er much better looking than the 4GC.

Yeah that is weird. Must be a typo. The standard features say ventilated discs all around.

I like the front but not the rear. I don't like the A7 rear either. Personal preferences.

The wording is certainly...odd.



Maybe they mean only the front brakes have red calipers and the rears don't?

That package with the sport rear differential and adaptive shocks is certainly worth it though.
