The A5 Sportback and its bigger sibling the A7 are plenty ugly as well...
What does "too family-oriented and not sporty" means ? if it means too pratical and not let's put an ugly butt just for the sake of it then, well, let's not.

Also the 5-GT has an upgraded interior compared to the normal 5, if we get the same in the 3-GT then it will be definitely worth a look.

Personally i am split on the touring, it does have a family van feel to it. A 3-GT would have a premium feel. And perception is reality.

To be serious, i get that, americans prefer the wagon, then buy the wagon. If i end up preferring the wagon i will buy the wagon as well, else just the sedan .. or if not at least i have third option.
Choice is good
