True for the first generation A5 (8T). It had great exterior but very outdated interior.
The second (current) gen has great interior (significantly better than F36, especially if without the individual package), but the exterior design is crap IMO.
One of the reasons (although not the primary) I went for F36, while I initially wanted A5/S5 .

I am generally an Audi fan, but in that particular class BMW 4 is simply superior as an overall package (if configured properly).
I was considering an A5 Sportback before I got my F36. That's was until I drove the Audi.
