In India, the second generation A5 comes in the Cabriolet and Sportback body styles and this is probably done to make things a little more interesting. The A3 Cabriolet received an unexpected response and Audi was trying to keep up with orders. Hope it'll be prepared now. The next-gen A5 is based on the new A4 and borrows most of the styling cues as also technology from it.
