I think the A5 Sportback is Uber hot!
And why would AoA think that Americans dont want a Sportback vehicle?
Toyota and their Venza would disagree
And we will see if BMW brings over the 5 series GT

I did read reports that Audi WILL not have the A5 Sportback in the U.S.

Uber Sportback? Yes, however why purchase the Audi A5 Sportback when you could own the Toyota original for far less, really at the end of a typical ownership time frame, far less. Here’s what Me thinks,, An Audi designer overheard a BMW designer’s discussion who in turn overheard the Toyota designer,,blah, blah. Next the Audi guy runs his little feet back to HQ … and …wait for it.. The A5 Sportback! An A4/A5 chassis Sportback derivative, a model with little soul, no beginning.

I like the Sportback thingy, kind of. The A5 Sportback design will surely be on display at the upcoming Frankfurt IAA show so there will be many more dynamic photo’s to view’s. If the AoA brass are if at all spending time with the SB concept, “their fired”. Nice car the A5 SB however the AoA distribution company has more important fish to fry. Just at thought…….

I think Audi needs to bring that car to the US/Canada to take out most of the competitors.

Default Auditalk respond

Here is a nice respond from the Audi customer service after I requested more info for the Audi a5 sportsback to be sold in the US. Goes to show that they are still considering it if there is enough demand.

Dear ___:

Thank you for contacting Audi of America.

We appreciate your taking the time to share your comments with us. No
plans have been announced at this time for production of the Audi A5
sportback for North America, but we do welcome feedback from our
customers regarding their experience and preferences. This information
is extremely important to us in planning for future production.

Your note has been forwarded to the appropriate individuals. We look
forward to hearing from you again if we can help with any information or
be of any further assistance.

Again, thank you for contacting Audi.

Evelyn

Shouldn't this be an A4???

I thought that the A5/S5 will be two doors..this is a 4-door. Please call it A4 Sportback.

Can't see why anyone would want an A4 is that was available. It is almost as sexy as the coupe.
