Let's not go down this line of discussion.
I'm not, everybody in his right mind will say the same. However, here on the Audi forum sanity is sometimes hard to find j/k

Re: S5 vs S4

S5 for me. The S4 is just plain bland when you really look at it.

S5 for me. I will take a V8 over a supercharged V6 any day.

Re: S5 vs S4

They look pretty much the same at a glimpse but the S5 is the only one of them that is good looking, not in that santa costume but in every other colour...

Re: S5 vs S4

I guess it's not too surprising - one is just the 3 door coupe version of the other.

Engine difference is significant though...

Loving them in red - as the RS5 in 'Car' last month, stunning. RS6 in red works well too. Even saw a red Q7 this week, which in S line trim worked pretty well too, although there is a lot of panel space to cover, which close up can be a bit much.

Hello and very much welcome to GCZ
powderhound

Feel free to share some photo's of the rides of yours.
Audi works very often good in red, but would not go for the
red paint without metallic/gloss/perl added.

last if I where you I would buy the RS6 cause the Q7 is up for an facelift..

Re: S5 vs S4

Well it isn't hard actually. The fact that the car is red and the lighting at the autoshow is bright, hides most of the details that seperate them.

On the road, it's not hard to tell which car is which. From the front and back, The S5 looks wider and sits lower than the A4/S4. From the side, obviously, the doors. I've seen both the A4 and S5 on the road and in my rear view mirror, I can tell which car is which from the LEDs. The A4 LEDs are different from the S5.

But despite all this, at first glance, they are very alike and hard to distinguish
