RS5 Sportback formally unveiled at classic car event today
A buddy of mine had told me about 3 weeks ago this was the date it would be shown for the first time and that classic car show would be the venue. Didn't make sense to me, but he was right (well connect at the top of AoA).

I don't like the wheels, but I'm sure if I want one in a couple of years there will be other choices.

Playing around with some color edits based on press images of the Sonoma Green car to see how it might look in a few of the AE colors I'm considering.
My first choice is Merlin Purple over Silver Nappa. My wife is not a fan of "purple". I also love Sepang Blue, and am sort of drawn to Galaxy Blue. If we didn't have a Matador Red SQ5, I'd probably go that route as the Sportback looks stunning in that color.

^^ Yeah, I prefer the look of the coupe as well. The SB looks too "swoopy" in the back and 4 doors somehow makes it look less sporty to me. I'm guessing it'll have approximately the same slight weight increase as the S5 SB has over the S5 coupe.
