      Old S line leather + fabric seats are old fashioned. Leather is slippery. I'll take high quality fabric over leather any time, ESPECIALLY in a sports car, where I want the seat to hold my body firmly and with a lot of grip, and I don't want to sit on a slippery dead animal which makes me sweat too. Leather as a luxury is such a 90's mindset.

    Nice car, the sportback! From all of my previous cars: BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, the A5 was always my favorite. Too bad that the sunroof doesn’t open, this is getting more and more common due to better aerodynamics?? Also not happy about new AC control. Looks and feel of previous Audis was best in class. And I have not met a single person yet, who likes these high gloss in the cars. Do carmakers listen to customers at all?
    Also, seems like Audi light engineers are the most busy ones in the industry, they keep on coming with so many fancy light designs. I’d prefer they would spend more effort and money on a premium interior.

      The even numbers are being designated for Audi’s electric cars. Hence the reason why the A4 is becoming the A5. The same will happen to the A6… that will eventually become an A7. Anyone who follows Audi will know that they’re changing their nomenclature as they transition to an electric car company.

      @@keanumunteanu I never said the PPC was developed with Porsche. Every single Volkswagen uses the MQB which is the cheap one. The only Volkswagen that uses the MLB EVO (which was developed entirely by Audi) is the Touareg. So the Touareg uses an Audi platform, not the other way around. The Passat uses the cheap MQB with transversely mounted engines and Haldex AWD instead of Torsen. You probably have no idea what I just said, or you are trying to convince yourself that your passat is the same as this, so that you feel better about not being able to afford it.

    A return to the curvier Audis. Very strong design from the late 2000s where they looked the best

    North American customer here. I shall be personally annoyed if they don’t give us an Avant or AllRoad. And do they really think US customers are going to flock to a hatchback?

    That steering wheel 🤮🤮🤮 But at least the car doesn't look like designed by a drunk designer, unlike the new BMWs

      It's one of the best looking steering wheels I have ever seen. Certainly better than the previous one.

    I mean the a5 was the 2 door version of the a4. I get it but still it'll throw off of a lot of Audi customers. I can't wait for the RS variants.
