looks like they could benefit from some better scaling. the A5 looks a little small.

despite the similarities, the bimmer certainly looks dated now.

First thing I thought of when I saw the photos. It really looks like the Bimmer, especially from the back and side. And the S5 has a very BMWish wheel.

How could these two separate companies come up with entries so similar within a few months of each other? Looks like collusion to me.

When you put the A5 up next to the 3 seriers, I'm starting to like the A5 more and more. The curve on the front fender has a certain sexiness to it and the car overall looks better than a 3 series
