I'd consider getting a RS5 long as the suspension isn't super sensitive to every imperfection you encounter! It's not like I'm gonna be taking her on the track or anything, however I wouldn't mind b!tchin a M3 or C63 boy from time to time!

No one does interior layouts better then Audi!

I saw my first Audi S5 today, grey with red interior. Looks a lot better in S5 disguise than in A5 3.0 TDi. The car is very wide and doesnt look like a E92 competitior, looks like much larger car.

I also realized how stupid are threads are about A5 and 3er Coupe. Both cars look very good, a person who claim either A5 or E92 is an ugly car, he/she isnt healthy and need help ASAP.

DAMN!! I gotta make some more money!!

I saw the S5 unveiled two days ago at a secret launch event. The invite said it was a presentation of Audi's latest technology but it was in fact the launch of the S5...

The car looks great, no doubt, but it fell short of my expectations.

1. Interior buttons are plasticky, unlike those in say, the B7 A4 or the D3 A8. Maybe to correct wear and tear issues, but they feel cheaper.

2. Rear bumper extends a little too far out.

3. Car sounds really soft. Almost unlike an S model.

4. Front LEDs impressive when seen from far, but it just looks a little too complicated on close inspection. LEDs on the R8 were better executed.

5. C-pillar is HUGE in person - makes the car look a little like a sportback.

6. Curving shoulder line almost imperceptible when close to the car.

A black Audi S5 is currently for sale her in Sweden and the price it pretty heafty. 639 000kr(63 900euro/dollars) which is more or less the asking price for the new M3 and a new C63 doesn't cost any much more than that. The car is on the other hand equipped with the B&O sound system which does account for close to 40 000kr of the price tag. It also has the GSP/DVD package with does add to the base price.

Stunning! This will certainly be my next coupe.
