Auto Express has this picture of the upcoming convertible version of the Audi A5.
No surprises here. Not even a hard top…

I hope this car fails miserably for smugly ignoring technical progress. Hey Audi, you might as well stick wooden wheels and acetylene lamps on this relic.
I actually like soft tops depending on the car. Yes I agree that hard tops may be technically superior, but I think soft tops give certain cars a touch of class.
I don’t like hard top convertibles. They’re usually not visually attractive with the top-up, it almost always eats up all of the trunk space, and there are a bunch of ugly seams for the roof panels. Generally they have to have a J-lo rear end to accommodate the top mechanism. With exception of the SL, all hi- end convertibles (Bentley, RR, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Ferrari) still use multi-layer fabric tops. I was hoping that the rumors were correct that the M3 would have a fabric top. Nope, I need a decent trunk for weekend roadtrips. I cannot wait for Audi to launch the S5 cabriolet to replace my S4 cab.
I do not care about convertibles. But, the S5 is probably one of the best looking cars around.
All Audi cars are looking the same.
Getting harder to distinguish the different models nowadays.
