BTW, I think that the Stinger definitely looks better!
Try to compare the 2018 A5 sportback. The Audi you attached is not a real image by the way... that audi is photoshopped

There are definitely similarities but I don't think it's so close to call it a copy. Thankfully.

Agreed. I did not mean to imply that it was a copy, but they are definitely "cousins" aesthetically.There are definitely similarities but I don't think it's so close to call it a copy. Thankfully.

To my untrained, non car nut eye, those two cars look basically the same from the side as far as shape goes. If they were the same color they'd be close to identical. Again, to my amateurish eyes.

audi is definitively a good looking car but also is the Stinger and the price plus drive-ability make the difference

Oh, yeah, I didn't think you were.
They certainly are pretty darn close...
Yeah, I think I like the Stinger better, as a matter of fact. Perhaps in "RS" form I'd like the Audi better...

Here are more comparison pics and a German article.
Teehee the one thing the Stinger did get right over the S5 is the placement of cupholders lol!! I've seen several comments on the Audi forms on how larger cups block the controls.

KIA STINGER MEETS AUDI S5 SPORTBACK
Comparison test: All articles at a glance
Audi S5 / Kia Stinger: Comparison
- 29.05.2017
Now Kia is on Audi
Kia wil with his first Gran Turismo the German premium brands annoy. The first opponent of the Stinger is the Audi S5 Sportback.
The master comes in and is silent. We have an appointment with Peter Schreyer, the designer of Hyundai and Kia ; And we have brought a car from a brand that has always played in a different league. Audi S5 against Kia Stinger. The Master first looks at the one and then the other, his gaze wandering back and forth. After a minute, he finally says, "He's doing well."
The stinger's white dress to please
Success: The Stinger comes with a short front and long rear overhang, stands on fat 19-inch.
Audi vs. Kia. This is like Bayern München against RB Leipzig - the one are always up, the others want to go there too. And the Stinger should help. A Gran Turismo , 4.83 meters long, 1.87 meters wide, one that makes goose bumps even in standing. In 2011 Kia showed such a GT study at the IAA , with the years further developed, streamlined, pointed, and always the car was red. Now, Schreyer stands next to the Stinger and reveals a secret: "In internal design presentations, we show different models, small cars, SUVs , but whenever the Stinger was the turn, all those responsible smiled and said: 'Ah, the Red car! '"Approach to the red car, which is coming in the autumn of 2017. The Stinger stands fat on 19-inch (front: 225, rear: 255), its proportions are fully tailored to the rear drive. Short front overhang, long hood, long wheelbase, large rear overhang.
All news and tests on Kia
In terms of quality, the Audi is the measure of things
Almost classic: The Audi is more discreetly drawn, convinces with its high quality.
Schreyer strokes the back of the car and gets out of the car: "Look at the car three quarters from behind, it's just awfully horny!" What does it mean? Strong shoulder with exposed wheel arches and a roof line, which becomes slimmer towards the rear. "This is like holding the car with two reins in my hand." The Audi, on the other hand, seems almost reserved, rather classic. At 4.75 meters it is eight centimeters shorter than the Kia, with 1.84 meters three centimeters narrower. But he is currently the ultimate in the league of the four-door mid-range coupés, big-boy dream on 255-ply with 19-inch wheels, in contrast to the Kia with frameless discs, with a processing maturity that sets the benchmark. All switches are clack enough, attention to detail is noticeable in every crack,
All news and tests on the Audi S5 Sportback
In the drive, Kia sets on a rather quiet V6
Rather restrained: The 3.3-liter V6 sounds more subtle than the Audi engine - there is still something!
Whether Kia can keep up? The interior is solid, three large, round ventilation nozzles, the Navi screen like Mercedes , classic round instruments. In Kia is geged and not rotated on the controller, also gesture control is not. Schreyer explains: "The technology has to adapt to the human being and not vice versa. The volume, the climate, the navigation - everything has to be easy to operate during the journey." We start the engines, play with the accelerator pedal. Audi? The six-cylinder sprotzelt and hisses, plays us a rock number from its four tailpipes before. Kia? In comparison rather restrained, the 3.3-liter V6 skin 'ne ballad back out. Perhaps the sound engineers should listen to that again. Enough know-how has Kia yes. Schreyer was formerly with Audi and VW, Has designed the Golf IV and created with the Audi TT a design icon for eternity. Chief designer Albert Biermann comes from BMW. And Schreyer still tells us a secret: "When Biermann saw the car, he told me," I'll make sure he drives as well as he looks. " We are curious.

Conclusion
Welcome to the Bundesliga, Kia! The Koreans get know-how from Audi and BMW to drive exactly these brands to the plate. If the Stinger on the street is as good as he looks in the studio, we will soon see this Kia more often.

Looks like rear passengers of Stinger would have easier access. The rear door on S5 is visually shorter.

For me, it's a close call on the front-end. I like Audi's grille. But the rest of the car, for me, goes to the Stinger... Design-wise...
