I mean what I said, all reviews I read says E90 is a sportier car to drive but MB has closed the gap in handling department. New C-class handle as good as E90 but still its not as sporty to drive.

There are two categories, (1) handling and (2) driving fun/involvement. A SL55 handles better than a M5 but isnt as sporty to drive as the M5. A 335i handles almost as good (in some cases better according to some) as a M3 but its not as sporty/involving to drive than the M3 E46.
So handling and sport isnt the same.

That's funny coming from you Just_Me! You really need to look in the mirror or read some of your post, better yet all you need to do is add-up all the time you spend in Audi threads such as this 1 trying to down play the A/S5! I really wish you'd stop following me around, I told you my position earlier ok? You a BMW loyaliest because of mommy and daddy ok? If your folks drove Mercedes or Audi's growing up you'd be in here flying those colors! Their's nothing wrong with that, but see it for what it is ok? You have a blessed day.

But in the end everything will depend what the potential buyer will reckon.

I truly hope the A5/S5 turns out to be a sales success for Audi.

BMW loyalist becuase of my mum and dad, you have no idea what you talking about and yes I probably driven more Audi and Benzes than my parents have done. And me putting down Audi, a month ago you said was the most open-minded member on this board when I talked nice about Audi's, now you telling me to look in a mirror maybe you should do the same?
I understand why your attiude is changing towards me, its hurts to see negative talks about A5 so now you give me low shots and talking about my parents. When you cant argue you use cheapshots and yes I will follow you around when I see a post I dont agree with.

Oh, btw I rank Audi behind BMW, im not like you ranking both audi and mb ahead of bmw.

PS Your position towards me, you have a choice, you dont need to reply on my posts.

Here's one ironic pic for you guys:

:d

Every car maker aspires to beat someone if they are not considered the best and Audi is no different.Problem is Audi is not consistent enough in what they are aiming at,they develop the RS4 which is a gem of a drivers cars and hence the expections are raised and then develop the the S5(A5) and its not the same anymore.so where do they stand.

If you cannot beat Mecedes Benz in Luxury and comfort then you are not the best non-exotic luxury car manufacturer on the planet and if you dont beat BMW at driving dynamics then you are not the best Sports car manufacturer.

If Audi is about compromises then so be it,but MB will never sacrifice comfort to make the C-class better a drivers car than the 3er nor will BMW blunt the 3er's driving feel to make it feel more comfortable than the C.

Actually Just_Me the whole Mommy and Daddy thing is true unless you were lying in a nother thread when you said so! O and about what I said 3 month ago I had my reasons ok? You should be able to figure it out maybe, I don't know. Negative talk Just_Me? Come on now we both know when the RS5 which is direct competition against the M3 drops and is compared against the M3 is all that matters, until then say what ya won't. And for your BMW dislike garabage say what ya like, but if you did a little check you'd know the X5 is my favorite SUV/SAV okay. You really should find someone else to get at because your doing me know damage. Your a dynamics guy, and I'm comfort 1st, do what ya do, this whole Just_Me vs. Richboy stuff has been old and I've been over it for some time now, don't chu think it's time for you to do the same? O well you stay out of trouble now!

Why is that ironic? R8 is a true driver's car and could be offering more pleasure than any BMW model right now.

1) my parents has nothing to do with my carchoice.
2) and yes I like Audi A4, A8, TT and A6 so dont give me that attitude that I come to audi forum to diss audi. Show some respect instead of giving lowshots.

With this said we are way off-topic, send me a PM if you have something more to say becuase this thread is about A5, not you and me.
