So hows that different from the A7? Is this based on the A4?

Yes. It's different because it is smaller.

^^^ You can't fault Audi's interior quality, smart looking car.

Why a Cabrio though? What's the difference between a convertible A4 and a convertible A5? Doesn't seem worth it really.

[Dino Scuderia]

Don't like the new even more gimmicky headlights.

The A5 Cabriolet took over where the A4 Cabriolet left.

Also why did they make the A5 into a sedan and all this. It's kind of stupid. I thought the point of the A5 was that it's kind of a stand alone sporty coupe model, now they're making a cabrio, sedan and stuff.

Marketeering, economies of scale, focus groups and continued success. I imagine when you walk into an Audi dealership they just give you a questionnaire to fill out, feed it through a computer out the back then just tell you which model fits your bill.

Ditto Benz and Bimmer.

Audi seems worse to me for some reason. I think it's because they all look the same, so you can't just choose on looks. You either want something that looks like an Audi or something else, but then once you've made that decision you still have to make the model decision on some grounds. Even walking asking for some $$s worth of Audi wouldn't work so well, what with the overlaps between models.

Precisely, if they all look, go and feel pretty much the same there's no point in having a questionnaire.

You just enter the Audi showroom, pay, then drive off in whatever was in stock at the moment. The end.

Probably.

The questionnaire just legitimises the credit check process - it's really just linked to a random number generator and the stock list.

'You, your wife and your 4 kids should drive away in this wonderful new A1!'
