Audi A5 and A7 coupes

i believe it was this month's Road & Track that confirmed that Audi will be building an A5 coupe, which will officially be announced at the end of 07. This was the car they showed in the blurb.






Audi will also build an A7 coupe to compete with the BMW 6-series and Mercedes CL/SL class.

WOW!!!! That A5 is absolutely gorgeous! I'm guessing it'll compete with the BMW 335i? Let's hope Audi gets it right and goes over 300 hp on this one.

Looking good except for that same stupid grill that's on every Audi/VW.

One mistake I think that is worth noting is how long it's taking Audi to bring it's products to the U.S. shores... Waiting until the end of 2007 to announce an A5 which means the BMW 335i has already been out for over a year and the new G35 coupe and possible Lexus IS coupe have had time to drop. It's the same thing with waiting until Spring '07 to release the new TT and then SIX MONTHS later they will release the roadster. Beautiful cars.... baddddddd product planning.

this is the 2008 A4 (with S-Line package).



you can tell just by the headlights that the coupe is obviously based on this 3rd generation A4. (remember that the current A4 is just a face-lifted 2nd generation.)
