So you think the S5 will have a lower base price than the S4 cabriolet?

The starting price of the S6 is $72K, S4 is $47.5K, S4 cabriolet is $55.7K

I still say the S5 will have a base of $58K-$62K + whatever the options are.

 

I think there is a good shot of it being cheaper than the convertible, base vs. base.

Verts are usually more pricey due to the fact that they require more body structure reinforcement.

 

What if they, (or even if they don't yet), what if they come out with or plan on making an S5 cabriolet. That would mean it woudl probably go for about $58K base based on your starting base of about $50K for the standard S5. That would be the worst strategic move for the S5 in that sense because then the S4 cabriolet wouldn't be that far off from the S5 cabriolet.

 

Question is, will there still be an A4/S4 vert if and when they build an A5/S5 vert?

My guess is no, as the product would be kind of redundant. Audi doesn't need two 4 seat convertibles.

 

AHHH I didn't think about that, good point.

That would make really good sense to get rid of the 2 door version of the A4 all together thereby allowing them to lower the price of the S5 to that of the A4 cabriolet price and still having room for an S5 carbiolet down the line if they want.

By that token, the price estimates you suggested would make complete sense.

 

^werd, they already mentioned they wont have any A4 verts.

Forgot where i read that article...

 

Been reading a lot about the Audi 5 today. It is sized to the BMW3, not the BMW6, this will be the new A4 platform too. The 335 turbo is faster than the A5, but the A5 will be a little more $ which may damper sales some.
The Audi5 is roomier than the 3 coupe cause the wheels are pushed out to the max. The S5 performance will be under the M3. The SR version performance may be over the M3.
US price guesses are getting more accurate due to other markets pricing showing up. A5 base may be around $40-42, S5 base may be around $50k.
I like this coupe overall better than the BMW3. Not crazy about Audis doubledeck grill. The S5 led running lights in the front are cool.
I wish Acura would bring out a new premium coupe. It would not equal some of the German features but it would be good enough for me. Oh yea, Acura, bring some styling too, not some, lots.

 

 

LEDs in the headlights

 

RWP's of this car look so much hotter

 

Dang, I want LEDs in my headlights.

 

again

 

 

Beautiful. Are the LEDs supposed to be DRLs?

 

I think they are suppose to be like "angel eyes" although it seems they are on even without the rear lights being on.

 

yup

 

:gheywave:

 

Looks nicer than the 3 series to me.

 

Looks nicer than both the 335 and the G37 coupe to me

 

This Is My New Car!! In 2017!!

 

For some reason, when I look at the side profile I think 6 series, when I look at the shape of the hood I think a smoother Caddy XLR and the rear very 3 series coupe.

Net, Net

Yup. And you heard it here first.






<------ gives self a virtual rep point for finding that.

 

I'd give you just one point for the pics, but It won't let me do that even.

 

That's alright, I'm jiggy with just an e-pat on the back.

 

Sick! I've been waiting for Audi to make a real coupe the TT just didn't do it for me.

 

I agree....I loved the TT when it first came (first one i saw was actually on the Autobahn) but they just never made the car what it could or should have been....im really looking forward to seeing the S5.

 

for 20K >G37 & 10k >335, i would expect it to look like this.

But 335>S5 performance wise.

 

an enticing video... it looks nice! I take back what I said before...

more enticing by the minute...

 

A year from now everyone will say how Audi isnt reliable and no one should get the A5/S5

 

But remember, it's never personal. Unless your last name is Audi or something.
