New Audi A5 Spy Shots

Caught by spy photographers, Edmunds has posted new spy shots of the upcoming Audi A5. Although there are numerous computer renderings on the web, these spy shots tell us that the A5 will look much different than predicted, but still keeping the sleek and versatile design that Audi currently has.

The spy shots, however, show that it is quite similar to the rendering that AutoBild did, which is shown above. As you can see, the sides retain the same shape as the spy photography.

Spy shots can be found at Edmunds and LeftLaneNews.

New 2007 Kia Amanti Refresh

Kia has unveiled its new Amanti for 2007. It’s much better than its predecessor. The Kia flagship sedan comes with a 3.8-L engine that produces 264 horsepowers. Exterior upgrades include 17-inch wheels with redesigned areas such as the headlights, taillights, and various parts of the Amanti. Inside, the Amanti hosts numerous changes including a whole new interior redesign with an upscale feel and comfort thanks to the longer wheelbase.

Video: Chrysler Sebring Convertible

You like the new Sebring Convertible? Well, how about a video to see it in action! The video highlights the many features of the Sebring. I don’t know why, but the Sebring actually looks better from the front without the roof, but it has the ugliest butt and rear-end I’ve ever seen. No offense, but the cover looked like it was about to fall off in the video, but I guess that can be said with all the hard-top convertibles.

Anyways, enjoy the vid. :razz:

Video: Audi TT Roadster

Whoa! Watch the video of the new Audi TT Roadster. Although the design is a bit too feminine for me, I personally wish the TT was “less round” in some ways. Oh, well. Enjoy.
