It definitely give the 3er something to think about! Good thing the 3er is due for a new model in a few years!

exterior looks very upscale and dynamic. Interior looks like an e90. However, I doubt it will handle well.
C63 coupe is very interesting.....

the girth? look of it reminds me of the CTS Coupe (they dont look the same mind you hmm... i dont know how to explain it)

Audi now needs a A4 coupe.
and hopefully the c-class coupe is going to be affordable.

its called the A5 or the TT since its the same engine ;)

TT is a two seater roadster ( like the SLK and the Z4 )
A5 is a big luxury coupe like the Eclass coupe or the 6Srs.
A4 is in the same class as the 3Srs and C class
to me the A5 is pretty much the A4 in 2 door - size and design wise.
back on topic, i think this C coupe is much nicer than the old one (lol the rear still kinda seemed like it got rear-ended but they hid it better this time *edit this is judging from the angle of the pics posted by original poster)

A5 is just a 2 door A4. it is by no means a "big luxury coupe" like a 6er or E coupe

o rly? then why is it compared with big luxury coupes ? are you just saying that because it has the same engine as the A4? if so the C350 has the same engine as a ML350, The 335i has the same engine as a X5 3.5 . Just because they have the same engines doesnt mean there the same car, the A5 was made to be a competitor to the 6 series and the E class coupe, the only reason it has a 2.0T is so provide luxury with the option of good fuel economy ( how VW always does things) . The A5 is WAY roomier than the A4 and is WAY more expensive.

What? I always thought A5 was competing with 3ers. I haven't seen any S5 vs. M6 comparisons before... Isn't it S5 vs. M3 instead?

o rly? is that why an a5 starts at 46k and a 650i starts at 95k? not to mention the fact that the E Coupe and 6er both come with many more features, and are also much more exclusive than the A5. and an A5 is actually not even close to being "WAY more expensive" than an A4. A similarly spec'd A4 is actually only $4000 cheaper BEFORE adding any options. If you take a look at the price difference between a 3 series sedan and coupe, it's around the same as well. just because you might have seen someone comparing the A5 and 6er online or in a magazine doesn't make them "competitors".

yeah i guess you have a point but i dont get why they made the A5 so big compared to 3srs and why they dont have a car to compete with the Eclass and the 6srs
CharlieH

the a5 just looks very long but it's actually only a few cm longer than the 3 series coupe. i guess the sleek design makes it look bigger than it really is. they don't have anything to compete with benz and bmw's gt cars but they've got everything else covered. the new A7 completely blows the CLS out of the water IMO.

Looks sick right now compared to the current 3 series but I wonder how sick it'll look up against the redesigned 3 series and A5.

The body on the A5 is much chunkier and the A5 seems wider, here's a pic of both my cars parked together...hard to tell the difference in these pictures tho.

how does it drive compared to the 328?

which packs more punch? 328ci im guessing?

328i has more power.. but the dsg in the a5 is zomgg <3
Harvey Specter
01-07-2011, 09:42 PM
The 328i has more punch off the line, the A5 is sluggish because of turbo lag but I want to get the chip which supposedly improves the lag. Overall though the 328i is better handling car.

The rear looks better than the cts-v. I can't get past the Caddy's rear body panel.

they're also putting in a new engine for atleast the C350 which will go to about 300HP as opposed to the current 276~HP and a revised 7G Tronic. From my GLK, seems like the transmission is a much needed revision and the engine update, yes i want more horsys
Benz has been tuning up quite well in the past few years.

fuck i love AMG. they take a good looking car and stuff a shitload of power into it... i wish audi would do that with the RS5. that 450HP V8 they got in there is no match for the C63 Coupe. Should have went with the TT V10 from the RS6. Screw weight distribution, i want my 700HP!
about friggin time. the last time they had a c couple was N years ago

screw weight distribution? you should go buy a camaro man, obviously you don't care about vehicle dynamics.
my friend has an A5 and it feels much more substantial than any 3 series ive ever sat in.
