Default I doubt the car will look like that...

Although it is nice, i thought the other rendition that had just come out a week ago was a lot better.

Secondly, i doubt they would create the A4 to look EXACTLY like the A5. If they were to look at their competitors such as Infiniti and BMW, their coupe models are quite different from the sedan models.

Thirdly, i hope they dont create the A4 to look exactly like the A5 lol

It will look like an A5/S5 but with 4 doors.

Default first impression hate it!...it looks like a bmw...with the up and down and up lines on the car...not

smooth and looks awkward....i was worried about getting a b7 because the spy photos of the b8 looked to damn good....this just looks like a four door a5 which i really do not like looks wise....

Default Remember one thing...

The A5 is a B8, just like the A4 will be. Dimensionally they will be very similar. Design wise they will be similar too.

The long hood looks a little odd, but if the motor is back further, the design makes sense.

Default The Avant looks OK....

but the front overhang is still too much. The sedan looks unbalanced. The back half of the sedan looks out of scale compared to the front (like 3/4 scale); the trunk is too short in comparison to the long hood. I like the little kick-up/spoiler though.
