Default A5 Sportsback
Anyone knows if the A5 Sportback will be making its way to the US/Canada?

Sadly Audi of America states that they will not bring this car to US since Americans do not like Hatchbacks. They will bring the Audi A7 though...

Jeez. Add yet another car to the list of cars that I would consider replacing my S4 Avant with but aren't coming to the US. Still haven't heard of one that I would consider that is coming. The list...

New VW Scirocco
B8 S4 Avant
B8 RS4 Avant
A5 Sportback
S5 Sportback

It's a shame, this car would have been a great sell in Canada, I would be the first on the list. I am looking for unique replacement for my S5.

Not digging the A5 Sportback at all. Keep the 5 a coupe and leave the sportback designs for the sedans of the 4, 6, 7, and 8 models.

Would an A5 Sportback sell in the US market? Audi of America say's for their money, NO. AoA get's the last word in these matters. Yeah,,, where's my RS6 Avant or any recent or soon to be S - RS Avant. Okay the RS4Avant of late. My need/want is that of a high performance wagon, er Avant.
