<p>As with fellow Germans Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen, Audi continues to relentlessly propogate its lineup by<br />
carving the segment pie into thinner and thinner slices. But with results as compelling as this A5 2 2, this<br />
‘nichefication’ trend at least appears to be the consumers friend… if not that of the company’s bottom line.</p>
<p>Details on this silver bird remain slim, but according to Deutsche car rag <em>Auto Motor und Sport,</em> the<br />
Four-Ringed One is banking on a pair of V6 engines, a 3.2L FSI, and 3.6L FSI, with nary a four-banger in sight.</p>
<p>No word on an amped-up ‘S5′ model (or better still, an RS), but if sales are strong enough, we wouldn’t bet against<br />
it, and fairly salivate at the prospects of a DSG-equipped RS5.</p>
<p>Slated to find private hands in 2007, if this shot is accurate (it’s difficult to tell whether the photo above is a<br />
’shop, an artist’s rendering, or simply a retouched spy photo) the A5 finds front-end styling dominated<br />
by Audi’s now-trademark, Euro-plate friendly horse collar grille, along with a high beltline and short rear<br />
overhang.</p>
