Looks are not everything, or even the main thing.

Audi has been going hard on the timeless beauty of its designs, inside and out. We got the whole message, chapter and verse, with the launch this week of the second-generation A5 and S5 Coupe, sculpted and sporting two-door models with plenty in common with the A4.

Its predecessor, launched in Australia nearly a decade ago and lauded for its standout design, was described by legendary Audi designer Walter de Silva, as the 'the most beautiful car I've ever designed'. 

Beauty, though, surely is in the eye of the beholder. 

Just as the original A5/S5 styling stirred mainly positive reactions but occasionally variegated feelings out there in the car buying world, the new-gen siblings - unmistakably evolving from da Silva's gen-one design work - will have its adherents but also some who are possibly not quite overwhelmed.

A striking feature of the first-gen A5/S5 was its undulating "tornado" line running lazily from the headlights over the pronounced wheel arches to the rear of the car.
