My only gripe is that Audi needs to spice there designs up a bit, its too...smooth, its like looking at a wall, albeit a curved wall.

HOWEVER PEOPLE, your looking at an S5 body, not an RS5. Im sure it will be at least a bit different. Spiced up to look more agressive.

CAR magazine (a British publication) had a good article on this car back in October. If I was in the market for that pricey of a ride, it'd be a tough decision between that and an M3! Here's the link:

I remember it coming out and getting excited about it, but its ALL speculation, speculative specs, and photoshoped pictures. Nothing factual.

'Could be, but if I recall, they were road-testing it in that article. Then again, I've been known to have a fuzzy memory about small things, like articles I read in passing. I just hope they don't switch the S5 motor to a boosted V6 like they did to the S4!
