    you can call a cow a moose, but it is still a cow. the clk has always been a c-class coupe. the A5 was designed from the get go to be an A4 coupe, with the typical coupe upgrades and associated expense. no news there. all of the aforementioned engine changes make sense. what never made sense to me was the TTS's engine, especially now that the VW 3.6 is rumored to replace the 3.2 in the TT.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    I'm with you on that one, the 4-pot is the worse engine choice Audi made for the car.

    A5 is A4 coupe, but what I asked you is what will Audi do if Merc' really rellease E class coupe, and C class coupe...? Will Audi have some answer to that?

    Only if the 3.6L doesn't rob it of handling finesse.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    i would compare a C class coupe with a A5 and a E class coupe with the A7.

    A7 is ''four door coupe'', and its targeting Merc' CLS...

    I think the most necessary coupé is a two door A7, against BMW 6 series and Mercedes SL/CL. I can't beleive that it's only me who wants to have a big Audi coupé?
    5 Audis so far...currently:
    2007 Audi A4 B7 2.0 TDI Multitronic

    I wish Audi to produce ''big'' coupe for a long time now, but now days those cars aren't ''popular''. Maybe Audi ''move'' A5 up, and make it 6 series counterpart.

    More and more reports are saying that CLK is thing of past, new Merc's coupe will be E coupe, and C class Coupe is on the way...

    Would be interesting to see the sales figures BMW 6 series / Audi A5/S5.

    I could imagine that the A5 performs pritty well. And from Audi's profit margin point of view: A4 technologie with the A5 design premium. That's what Mercedes did the the CLS / E-series as well.

    Thanks Jarod. Clearly it's pretty much as we expected, but what a gorgeous car - I think that looks absolutely stunning.
