The Audi A5 and S5 were unveiled during the March 2007 Geneva Auto show and went on sale during the third quarter of 07.

Looks like a prototype. By the time it gets to the watered down production model you will have the now discontinued GTO.

I think the Coupe 60 looks a lot better though! I think if those LED going through the middle were black it would look even better instead of chrome

Ok...
The Audi coupe design still came out first, which is what is similar between the two.
The fact that the Holden's platform came out first doesn't matter much when it doesn't look like the A5 from the side.
So, , still.

But yes, the B6 A4 received the C5 A6's rear styling.

Also, that Coupe 60 does look good, but so does the A5:

Way better.... Idn I mean basically every two door car has that type of look from a side. Looking at the roof lining & windows. I mean if anything the GTR has a similar side look from looking at the door point of view. I just think the Coupe 60 has better styling then Audi & Nissan from their similar views.

I wonder how many concepts they made of the Coupe 60... You think they would mind if I just went & got one for myself to bring to America?

2008 is when it was introduced in Australia, this is about bringing them over here. Thanks for playing Mr. Knowitall.

HAWT prototype without a doubt. Unfortunately, the poor showing of the G8 in sales over here pretty much guarantees that we won't see anything like this under an American badge anytime soon....if ever.

It has a longer wheel base than the Gen5 Camaro. We all bitch about the Gen5 size and weight. Suddenly everyone wants this Tank60... I mean Coupe60.



I'm missing something....
