After seeing it on the road I think the RS5 looks great. The new headlights look good especially at night when you see them in the rear-view mirror.

Glad Audi is FINALLY fixing that terrible front end. It always looked like they started designing the car from the rear and when the deadline arrived they hadn't yet designed the front so they just slapped some lights on it. They never really fit the front end or lines of the car.

Agreed, especially considering the price range this car is in!

Nevertheless since I drove one I really like this car!

My thoughts exactly! Makes BMW's seats look so standard.

Ha. I don't think most car manufacturers shoot pictures or film of their cars anymore. It's all 3D renders -- it's a lot cheaper, and as evidenced by the pictures above, it makes it real easy to update existing assets when cars get refreshed.

Nope, the RS5 isn't out in the US yet. It'll be out this spring.

I don't care for the new headlights at all. The more complex housing design removes some of the timeless qualities of the former shape. Also don't really consider the cleaner LED piping to be that much of an improvement. The first thing I thought of was how tiny the new lamps are relative to the massive amount of surface area. They're too narrow imo.

I much prefer the original design. And to hell with the body color rear diffuser piece. Looks fat and chunky.

I'm disappointed with it. As someone mentioned, Luv the seats but the butt doesn't look right!
But it must sound awesome, doesn't it. Luv high revving V8's.
