Why do they need an S5 vert, don't they already have an A4 vert?

A4 vert will be replaced by A5 Cabrio.

Audi needs to take some cues from VW. The Scirocco front end belongs on that vert.

By the look of the lines around the trunk this looks like it's going to be another softtop, stupid Audi.

Without the sexy roofline I think the design could take a bit of a hit.

If it's a clothtop I don't think I would mind.^ It weighs enough as is.

+1 on both points. You dont really appreciate that unique roofline till you see it in real life.

Why do you need a M3 vert when they have 335 verts? Just cause.

You can't compare a 335 vert and M3 vert the way you can an A4 and A5 vert... the A5 is replacing the A4 vert, the M3 vert is what the RS5 or S5 vert is to the A5...

No probs

lol I know what you mean. I'll make a decision when I see it in real-life. Someone on another forum seen it in real-life and said it looks great. It will def be a softtop. I hope it does turn out good because I dont like the new E93 convertible. The rear window is too big and weird. Just looks awkward.
