the lines on the hood really bother me... recipe for disaster if someone sits on it.

I'm disliking the lines quite a bit actually. Detracts from what used to be a smooth appearance. Aftermarket hood anyone?

Not to sound snarky, but isn't a car's hood in grave danger if someone sits on it anyway? I'm not sure how the design of the new hood substantially escalates risk from folks sitting on it.

Nice video here:

Am I the only one thinking from the side it looks a lot like the Jaguar XE?
Anyway, I liked the Coupe better in the B8 platform. Liking the Sportback more now. Those front lines/lights don't matche the coupe look.

The interior looks great, the outside... not so much.

This is an Audi forum, why are you posting pictures of a Ford Fusion?

I highly doubt they end up bringing this to the US. But when I saw the B8 version all over Europe last summer, I thought they looked fantastic. I would have definitely considered one if they were available here. Maybe I'll get a chance with the B9...

It's been stated internally that we are getting the B9 SB.
Possibly in RS5 trim, too. We will have to wait and see on the latter.

RS5 Sportback, but no RS3 Sportback, S4 or S6 Avant, TT RS Roadster, or any version of RS6.
I can't imagine Audi making WORSE decisions than these.

I think the new sportback looks much better than B8 version, coupe I like the B8 more than the B9. What I don't like is the engine, I can already imagine the turbo lag this car will have with only one turbo on it.
I like the styling both inside and out. The rear end also has less of a bubble butt than the current 7 series.

Peak torque at 1300rpm. I believe this engine will have a ton of potential, much more than the current 3.0.

I am actually interested in the S5 SB, could be my next car.
I am diving the B9 A4 loaner now, virtual cockpit looks so nice, however I am a little surprise there isn't apply play on it.
