A5 vs. 335i Coupe

EricPA · 02-20-2007, 06:49 AM

I love the 335i Coupe. However, I have to give the edge to the A5. I like the "muscular" look of the area above the front wheel and I like the c-pillar area where it blends with the rear quarter.

I want Audi to have a true 3 series fighter, not a luxo A6 sized coupe.

Hopefully the Audi will be no larger than the 3 series coupe, and not weigh much more (but it is an Audi so it will weigh more).

...the A4 and A6, I suspect that it will be a few inches larger than the 335i. I'd say the exteriors about even but the interior of the A5 is > the 335i.

Now the wait until we find out if the handling is up to the E92 level.

And the rear ends on the two vehicles look far too similar.

I prefer the look of this PS picture. It's the line/crease that starts at the fog light area and past the headlight that I like. The line/crease on the actual A5 starts at the headlight.

Perhaps they didn't want to steal the look from the Bently Continetal GT
