freakin BMer 3-series clone.
if it has the V8 it'll be pricey too.

I don't like to judge a car's looks from pics but that looks better than the 3.

It'll probably be a lot more expensive than the IS350... And I personally think it looks very weird, with that huge, square and flat front grille.

Looks like the long lost twin of the 3-series coupe! Could they have copied it any more?

Since it fits more into Audi's corporate image of late, I'd say BMW copied Audi first.

The real comparison should be: Toyota Camry vs Audi A5
I don't know the Audi but the Camry was MotorTrend's car of the year.

The A5 would be near the price range of the CLK and 6-series. not an even comparison, unless money is of no object to you
The A5 looks gorgeous, and probably available with the V8, 6MT, and Quattro. Looks like the RS4 front grille, wonder if it'll get its engine too? If so it's going to be $80k easy.

Audi is coming out with a lot of sexy cars.
