Default And Microsite lists the wb at 108.3, not the previously speculated 111

So, at least longitudinally, it's pretty close to the size of a 3 series coupe.

About an inch longer overall, but very slightly smaller wheelbase.

Default I guess we can finally end the claim that this is a 6-series competitor. It's a next-gen A4 coupe.

That is, unless Audi goes berserk & price it as a 6-series competition.

Default with these engine choices...

they'll have to price it like the A4, mabye just a bit higher. If they price the V6 close the the 335 coupe, i'll get the 335 for sure.

Default I believe that'll be the A7's job.

Default Nearly 3 inches wider than the 3 coupe. Every other measurement is about identical

Click the image to open in full size.


Looks like it has close to 2 inches more front seat headroom than the A4 as well. I think this platform will suit me well.

S5 dimensions:
Wheelbase: 108.3"
Overall length: 182"
Overall width: 73"
Overall height: 54.1"

Default Re: Don't you dare buy a 335i... (until you've driven 'em both)

Nothing personal... I'm just being a PITA

Default so it is the same size as the 3 series, but it will cost more for similar performance?

Default Isn't the A7 a 4-door coupe ala the CLS?
