Audi A5/S5

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...ive/index.html

i know this car came out last year, so its a bit of a late post, but i saw one for the first time today, and was stunned.

this was one of the most beautiful cars ive ever seen. Mad props to Audi.



Little follow-up on this car, the test of the RS5 has begun

Where I ever to get a German car, it would be the Audi S5. There's a dealer next to where i study and it really looks brilliant.

Yep,saw a black A5 coupe with grayish wheels,on the way to work,it was stunning. It actually reminded me of the new Camaro,i think they will be similar size. Yes,it's a german Camaro. I'm trying to talk my friend into buying one,but i think he's going for the sedan.

The A5/S5 looks fantastic and is very luxurious, but for performance it simply can't touch the BMW 3 series, which I also think looks great, especially in coupe form. However, the great looks, luxury, and benefits of AWD could certainly be appealing to anyone who doesn't care about maximum performance.

the stock power of the s5 is faster than the stock power of 335...the interior and exterior are alot better so it has the edge in all categories stock vs stock imo.

I test-drove an A5 a couple months ago--man, what a beautiful car, inside and out! It only had the 265-HP V-6, so it didn't impress me much in the speed department. I wanted to drive an S5, but the only one the dealer had on hand was sold. Yesterday, I picked up the new issue of CAR magazine (British 'zine) and they had test-drove a red prototype new RS5 against the new M3. I can't recall what the engine was, but I believe it was a twin-turbo V-8 with 450 HP. Unfortunately, they wouldn't state any performance numbers or any hint of price (not that I could afford one anyway ), but it looked ohhhhh so sexy.
