I need to ask but that looks like a chop. Where are the side repeaters, Why is it the same color as the 335i and why does it have HH tags instead of IN/HN tags on it? Audi does not register in Hanover.

Good notes Jin.... interesting.

Is there some kind of law in Europe that car media photo's must have their front plates mounted? Looks terrible for media photo's to not see what the front end of the car looks like without a plate.

No magazine would chop that many individual images. It's the real deal.

Also the gloss finish on the grill and around the licence plate is not real. Audi never does this, too expensive, matte all the way.

We'll see. No offense intended, but I'll wait for a different source.

AudiWorld's take on it:

http://www.audiworld.com/news/07/a5-photos-leaked/

They were supposedly found on the audi.de webs site by someone poking around. All the original links on that site have been removed.

Also it should have the new design TT tail lights in it as well.

Ron please I am not doubting you. It just seems a litle fishy to me. I hope I get a reply back soon.

This is what it is supposed to look like when it is on a REAL Audi car. The only ting in Hanover for Audi is a dealership.

I don't vouch for the validity of the pics. Just reporting what's floating around the IntraWebs.
