I wonder if there will be no next RS4, but only a RS5 Sportback ...

It's larger and more sporty ... hence the 'RS4' type wheels

On the outside, the proportions of a classic coupé. On the inside, the spaciousness of an Avant. The Audi A5 Sportback solves the apparent contradiction in terms between sporty design and excellent functionality. It is a vehicle that has no equal.

... the biggest difference to an A4 sedan is that it´s got a hatch, which makes it more versatile and the coupe-ish geometry on the other hand makes it look much sexier than an A4 Avant:

Agreed. I think it is good looking. It has the sexiness of the S5 with the utility of the A6 Avant. I think someone should get to photoshopping this thing with 20's and a slight drop. Could be a contender to the S5....

of course, the A5-sportback is simply the A7`s little brother. the A5-Sportback is based on the A4 and the upcoming A7 is based on the next generation A6. The A7 will hit the showrooms at the end of next year.
