Side by side photo: New Audi A5 Coupe and BMW 3-series coupe separated at birth?

Autospies thinks the BMW 3er coupe and the Audi A5 look similar, what do you think?

I used to be an Audi guy but just can't stand their designs since they went with that front bumper. Ugh, I think it is an insult to even say they are similar

that a5 looks really really good IMO... What are they putting under the hood??

they look similar, but the a5 looks better

feeling that A5 coupe. looks clean and smooth.

A5

damn, A5 looks sweet!

The A5 should be sporting a 265hp V6 on its release.
They look good, but I am just not a big fan of Audi. Just my opinion... I am sure they are great cars now... Since the Audi 5000 is ancient history.

yes they look very similiar but I would still take the 335i anyday

The A5 wins for looks (inside and out)
e92 335i wins for performance.

The interior shots of the A5 are just plain awesome. Anyone else think the e90/e92 interiors are no longer compelling? I find them kinda boring now.

Was glad to see the A5 isn't just a gussied up Jetta interior like the A4 is.

Can you post up pictures of the a5 interior so we can compare?

I would also be interested in seeing some interior shots. I personally enjoy the plain jane nature of the 335i but I do certainly understand that I may be in the minority.

I never liked how busy the Audi dash is. Even on Mark's old A4 it seems like there were buttons all over the place.

id take the car in your sig anyday

Eh. I am not digging the Audi interior at all. I mean it looks ok I guess but I just prefer simplicity in an interior and that does not seem like it at all. There are a few things that are nice but overall I am not sure that I would be happy with so much going on. I also do not care for the steering wheel at all...my old wheel form my 99 A4 Sport was better IMO....it just needed the controls for the stereo like the one in my 335i

4500rpm?... better be a diesel...

I was thinking the same, but hell, thats low even for a diesel!

Maybe audi pshopped that tach in and it doesnt represent any motor offering; they havent said what they were putting in it yet, did they?

Good catch! 4500 rpms seems low for anything other than a diesel truck motor

1st post here...probably last too...LOLOL!

But I'm feeling the A5 no doubt.

Interior is a cockpit and looks comfortable.
Exterior without a doubt is meaner, more aggressive and proportionately correct in comparison to the skinny E92 trend doll.

Sorry....I love BMW and been a fan for over 20 years, but the new generations are doing nothing for me.

I can almost bet though the 335i will drive better than the A5 but its a trade off in terms of what looks good vs what feels good. And no the E92 does not look good

Which leads me to ultimately say the E92 is Jappy all the way around except the engineering. E92 interior is OMG an insult to the evolution of BMW.

Eeeek.

A5 on this one. Just got to drive it now and see how reliable they have become...or if they have...
