Usually, I think of Audi as a very academically designed car -- pragmatic and serious, designed in accordance with Audis cleanly technological aesthetic.

The A5 is sleek and more directly emotive ...its exterior is more sensuous than past Audis -- it is more 'human' ..in my opinion.

Audi have agreed that they will go (follow BMW) twards expresivity/emotive/humanity.

Not suprising since Audi shifted and mixed design in the last 25-30 years. Aero
, Bauhaus and now Human one after the other, and sometimes even simultaniously (in the same line up). This design shift shock is almost an Audi trademark.

As for BMW and, MB those are my toughts/feelings exactly.
