I don't know if the 2010 comes with the same MMS which has Google Maps built in, however it's fabulous when compared to anything I've used in any other car I've driven.

Also, quality of build is way higher. Car feels very solid, and even after 36,000 miles there are no rattles or problems. I expect the same would be true for the A5.

Lastly...LOVE this thing in the snow...not so much with the Camaro. It's my daily driver, as I won't be using my Stingray as such. SS was my DD though, and was decent for that.

Is it MMS or MMI? And I'm sure I would love the AWD drive even though it's not really necessary here in CA haha.

Boss owns an S8...what an intense car...Audi has come a long way over the years offering great machines...

Could probubly get a 2010 SS close to that price too, if you look around long enough. I was told my trade in value is $17k, so $20K sounds like a fair purchase price.

The guy I schooled was actually in an S5 which has a supercharged 3.0L V6. Still no match. And I spun a little on launch as it was cold out and early in the morning on a cold road!

I found a 2010 Audi A5 near me for about 20,000. I want to know what you guys think about it.

If you aren't comfortable with the extra you'd pay in gas and insurance with an SS, you won't like what you have to pay for AUDI upkeep and repairs, either. Not sure I'd call it a wash!

Yea, that would look nice! Even the stocks looks sweet on the Audi's! I would get one and want one next to my camaro! I gotta have my Camaro! LOL...

There's also an A8 W12...twelve banger!

S5 is a 4.9 second car to 60. A Camaro SS should win against a 333 hp 3.0 supercharged car.

An RS5 on the other hand has a sweet V8 ( low torque though ) that will run a 3.9 0-60. An SS pilot should be careful with that one.

Two different cars. An S5 can be had for under $50,000 but the RS5 starts pushing $70,000 new.
