Those things depreciate so freakin fast I wouldn't buy an Audi no matter what it looks like. Except for an R8, the little boy in me still wants a super car.

Nice cars, a friend of mine has one. No, they aren't speed demons, but they are some of the sexiest cars on the road. The S5 is a slightly different story, and when the RS5 comes...Well, you get the idea

My cousin's A6 spent a ridiculous amount of time at the dealer. He actually ended up buying my uncle's C320 just to get out of the Audi.

Good choice. a5 is a great design car,but engine line is soo poor because 2.0 T is too small for it and 3.2v6 got only265hp. it`s ridiculous.. if you want A5 buy S5.

There are quite a bunch of these roaming around my neighborhood, along with an r8. I do a double take every time i see them. The Q7 looks very nice too.

Saw an R8 V10 a couple weeks back, my girl walks up to it as I take a picture and gives it a fat thumbs-down

The A5 is one of the sexiest cars on the road today IMO. And people take VWs reliability issues way out of proportion. We have had 5 VWs in our household (all 2004 and up) and they have been great cars overall.

I have the same so many times!!! Its true, they look good, but I guarantee you would be sorry after you realize how much maintenance these things require. My GF's family owns a garage and she says Audi's are the biggest POS' on the road from a mechanical longevity standpoint. Apparently, almost everything has to be done at the dealer which is super costly and what isn't is still very expensive even at wholesale. He mechanics hate to work on them because they don't consider spacing and such when they cram the engine in. Just sayin'....

Come on man! I have had first hand experience with VWs and what you're saying isn't exactly true. Yes, it's true that they require maintenance that is a bit more costly than other cars, but they offer a VERY solid 'feeling', very good handling, and great interiors relative to their price.

It's not that my GF's family convinced me that they are good cars lol
