Audi has never imported the Sportback to the US. The only forum for the A5/S5 Sportback is now Coupe & Cabrio. I think the Sportback will be a big success, like the A7/S7/RS7. Probably deserves its own forum.

I agree too. Is there a process one has to follow to create a new forum or group for the A5/S5 Sportback?

At least split up regular A5s from S5s. Engine differences have a bigger impact when you're looking for information on the forums than body styles.

I agree. Makes sense. Audi Zine does some of this (Designated S4 section), but then flip it to the OTHER END of the spectrum. While over here we're blessed on Club Audi with an at least cleaner section like A6/S6/RS6

Zine has it like A6/S6/RS6/A7/S7/RS7

So it can be hard at times to sift through and find what you want.

I don't really see why. It's part of the A5 family.

There can be an argument made for separating the A4 and A5 just like the A6 and A7.

Agreed. There aren't many topics posted about an S5 coupe that are not relevant to the owner of an S5 sportback. As a matter of fact, I'd like to see all the S4/S5 models combined into one forum.

Isn't this pretty much an A5/S5 Sportback forum now? Very little chatter about the coupe and cab
