My Ride: [color="#2F4F4F"][font="Arial Narrow"][b]F07 5-Series GT | 2009 '59' | Black Sapphire, Ivory White Leather, Unlacquered Fineline Wood Trim[/b]
Media Professional Pack with HDD, Visibility Pack, Electric Front Seats with Memory
20" alloys [style 316] with Pirelli P-Zeroes RF tires, Adaptive Drive
USB Interface, DAB Tuner, Extended Ambient Lighting, Comfort Access [/font][/color]
The A5 sportback looks a lot prettier than the equivalent 5-Series GT proportion-wise though I think the GT is taller and bigger.
The A5 sportback is actually millimeters smaller and lower than the A4 saloon/sedan.
But it is only ?27,000 to the GT's estimated ?40,000+ pricetag.
Both launch October 2010 in the UK so it will be fun to watch.
