2009 Audi A5 Sportback |
From the moment the first Mercedes-Benz CLS four-door "coupe" was introduced to the public, other German luxury automakers hit the drafting board. According to the German auto experts at AutoBild, Audi is just over a year away from unleashing its own cleverly packaged sedan. The A5 Sportback would be based off the A4/A5 platform, and takes a little of both models and melds them together. Audi parent company VW has already unveiled a four-door coupe version of the Passat destined for sale in the fall, so an A5 Sportback appears to be a safe bet. The A5 won't be the only four-door coupe in the Audi fleet either, as the A7 should arrive in 2010, and AutoBild mentions the arrival of a new A3 Sportback a year later.
If there is a Sportback edition of every odd-numbered Audi, an Avant version of the even numbered models, and an S and RS for all, it's easy to see how Audi plans to expand its product lineup by 18 models by 2015. The A5 is already handsome, but if the four-ringed automaker could add the practicality of four doors while keeping the coupe's good-looking lines, we foresee another hit for Audi.

AND WE NEED THIS INSTEAD OF AN A4 WAGON . . . WHY? The Sportback appears to be aimed at buyers who can't decide between an A4 Avant and an A5. We just wonder how big that prospective market might be.

Now that I can affor a $60K, I will never buy an Audi simply because the front of a VW GTI, Jeta or Passat has the same look. I am sure the guy driving the Volks is happy the front of his car looks like an Audi but why would I spend $60K and drive a car that looks like a $25K car ! Too bad because the Audi's have everything I want in a car.
I see the VW are changing their front ends in 2009, to me that means Audi will have that new front end in the years to come. I'll just wait 20 years and see what happens.
Bet you when I climb up an Audi's rear end on the highway with an M3 or C63, he will be sure I am not driving a VW !! That will be real clear to him !
