Exeo Coupe on the agenda?

[ZBOYD]

Seems someone has found prototype images of a 5 door Exeo Coupe, based on the Audi A5 Sportback.

Thanks for the heads up!

Although it definitely wants its design working on... looks like one of those retro rover fastbacks

These computer models are always ropey, they never want to reveal too much.

What do the Superb and the A5 share? It's got that high-ish back that the Superb has, and the text reads like it might have the boot/tailgate, Superb style.

Hmmm.... not sure on it myself

I'm just hoping that Seat decide to bring out an S4, Exeo equivalent in the next 3 years, so I can part-ex my current Exeo for one

W8 like the passat would be a decent compromise

The computer model of the Exeo a few years ago wasn't far off

Some photo-chops have appeared.

Front end looks ok, but the back end needs to go back to the designer with a big red cross!!

Not gone on the BIG fat front grill. Z is right about the back as well...

just going to end up looking like the VAG group 'opposition'?

somewhere on there are also details of the new Jetta, again very similar in my eyes..

I think the trouble is, that Audi are the darling of the groups. Audi have huge sales figures but rather than just recycling Audi's models VAG need to have the confidence to allow the other brands to produce products their customer base want and can afford.

I would like to see a SEAT A5-esque coupe or even a smaller SEAT coupe, but I would really want it to be a fresh design rather than a slight re-hash of an Audi. Because at the end of the day, the smart money would go on a used Audi.
