Spotted: A5 Sportback (in China)

[Disoblige]

Thought this was a neat spot that you wouldn't see in North America.

Typical Audi front end, but the shape of the Sportback is pretty sweet. Caught my eye immediately in person.

We hate hatches as a whole. I'm surprised we have A7 and even All Road.

I'm surprised they have the All Road too if I wanted plastic fenders I would by an Outback. I wish they would bring the wagons back especially the S4.

I love the sport back, especially in S5 trim. Sucks we don't get it here. Allroad is pretty nice, but is a big kick in the nuts as the only avant :rofl:

I don't get it, I thought the whole premise of the A5 was a 2-door A4... now it's just an A4 with a swept back roofline?

Can't wait to see BMW compete with their new 4 series 4 door :rofl:

Still a beautiful looking ride though.

and there I was thinking the only Audi's the Chinese would drive were black A6's. A white A5, rare!

I like this one

I think they will release a X4 before a 4 Grand coupe.

X4 is already in concept form.

China is the market for big 4 four door luxury cars.

North America.. PICK UPS!

Slowly changing though..
