The whole car is Buick-esque, IMO. Audi letting designs go by the wayside.

After the M3 these spyshots mean very little at this point.

Default Looks don't count?...

The A5 version looks particularly weak. I'll have to wait to see it in person, but wondering where this wavy curvy design inspiration is coming from at Audi. You used to always be able to count on Audis as being clean, understated, distinctly German looking designs. Not any more it seems.

Default S5...the shape of the body isn't going to change for the RS5...

and that seems to be the consensus here, questioning of the wavy curvy look. A coupe doesn't have to look like a 1990 Riveria.
