All will be availeble after the introduction of the new A4/S4 @ the IAA Frankfurt September 2007.

Hans.

I gotta ask, where do people like YOU to judge someone that knows their facts? Yes, just like a car that hasn't even been released yet. e46 M3 for the win

wow that was VERY constructive.

back to the topic, i am starting to lose faith in audi with it's new line of engines, and i highly doubt that both s-tronic and magniride will make it into the normal a5 even as an option.

Except price wise the S models are closer to the M cars than the top non-M models.

The 335 costs $40K in US and the S4 sedan $48K, I am guessing the S5 will be at least $50K.

That is safe to assume, The S5 will probably be 50K or above but it also has the possibility of being a better perfomer than the 335i. The M3 will also probably be at least in the $60Ks, so its in between.

All jokes aside, I believe Audi has to charge more. They put better quality materials inside their cars. BMW's focus is obviously exterior and driving dynamics, they would cost as much if not more than Audi if they approached their interior like the exterior IMO.

With the same engine as in S4, I doubt if it will perform any better - unless Audi seriously addressed the weight aspect.

Yup, that is why I said it has the possibility, but we shall see.

I had every intention of getting a S8 this summer but now I'm not sure. I'm really digging the S5, and I haven't had a a sweet coupe since 01. The ladies love a sexy coupe!


P.S DAMN!!
