Finally had a chance to see the RS 5 in person, the exterior styling is very aggressive at the front, the side profile looks much more purposeful with the flared guards. Some details however, are a little fussy, such as the fake vents next to the headlights and tail lights, and the gloss black/carbon fiber trim at the bottom of the door/side skirt.

Got to nit pick here:
1- Gas pedal is 95% identical to that of my 2015 GTI! make of that what you will hehe.
2- Audi got to find a more creative and better integrated solution for the floating iPad thingy.

Aside from that. the RS5 sportback is the ultimate allrounder and sleeper car. Would get it in a heart beat, despite the above mentioned nuisances!
 
Somehow, the series II A5s' could never sustainably captivate me in the manner that the series I cars did. As the last of the Wolfgang Egger design team Audis' (although subject to last minute tweaking by Marc Lichte), I suspect that the second-gen models simply grew a bit stale quite quickly. While certainly handsome, that "WOW !" factor seems to be missing.
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
