What makes you like A5 Sportback over A4 Avant, and A7 Sportback over A6 Avant? I mean I would take 5 Touring over 5 GT, eventhough it is not the kind of car I want/need.

Also, is it true that Audi is considering a 6 Series rival, A7 Coupé and Convertible or R6 Coupé and Convertible or is it just BS speculation?

The A5SB is a lovely looking machine, same is true for the A7, I don't know why people can't see this. As for the 5GT, it's not quite the same thing, it's not a coupe style motor in the same way as both of the Audis so to me I would agree that the 5er Touring is the better looker of the two and the one I would chose.

With Porsche now under VAG control it's not quite clear what products will get the green light. R4 and R6 are two models which have been under development for some time so anything is possible.

I saw a Porsche Cayman S Cup......crashed...

The RS6 will get you more stares from the ladies than from sausage. I am not talking about picking up girls with the car but it gets annoying when dudes keep approaching you to talk about your car. More of a reciprocation of being entertained as you are exchanging information.

Quite right, in fact the same applies to BMW goggles. Though that fact only applies to places other than here of course.

Nah, if you want ladies, you need one of these:
- Audi S5 Convertible
- Mercedes E 500 / 63 AMG Convertible (AMG doesn't exist unfortunately)
- BMW M3 Convertible
- BMW 650i / M6 Convertible
- Jaguar XK / XKR Convertible
- Maserati GranCabrio (my favorite)
- Aston Martin DB9 Volante
- Bentley Continental GTC
- Rolls Royce Drophead

IMO audi lineup is pretty consistent in the look department, understated which is preferred by some people. There is no really bad looking car in their lineup except I don't like the look of the Q7. But even that is not bad looking.

I use to have a Q7. It's not bad looking in the darker colour and with the 21" RS look alloys though it's definitely not the best looking SUV externally, but inside it was exceptionally well thought out.
