Mixed feelings about this car

The new interior in my opinion is better. I Like the new steering wheel and control buttons of mmi

New Grill is better. Not so much on headlights and foglight area

Does not effect me because i have the 2.0t, but i wish they would of kept the s5 with a V8

i still prefer the current LED DRL with blocks of them instead of one line of LED. But I do like the sharp lines of the headlights and grille though. Don't feel it for the so subtle fogs though

Looks like the race is now in favor of the classic look

I can understand updating the headlights and grill but why not at least offer a better looking design. The front end of the new A6 looks much nicer/sportier and it's a 4 door! There should be an all LED option as in the A6/A7/A8

I would choose the 3.0T over the 4.2 V8, but I much prefer the styling of the current S5 to the upcoming 2013 model; IMO, the current S5 has a more graceful and timeless design.

I got my present A5 awaiting the V6 s/c S5. I guess that addresses my vote (but must admit I like the current looks a bit better).
