Default Automobile Magazine: A5 "Sportback" coming later this year? Anyone else heard anything about this?
Saw this in the June issue of Automobile magazine - anyone hear anything more about this?

I'm one of those few people who are definitely interested in on of these - I need a wagon, but love the wider stance and lines of the A5...

imho, the "sportback" variant will be a 3-door shooting brake.

Oh I hope not.... Still don't understand the point of that thing. Talk about diluting the A5 model

This sales volume increase at all cost strategy will backfire eventually.

Default Thumbs up for the Magnum . . .
. . . but not this.

Now if the A4 avant didn't exist.

(or if they decided to offer this as a manual, while the A4 avant remains auto only; what a woild, what a woild)
