i like it... probably pricey though.

 

If I had enough money I would have loved to order an S5. That thing is balling.

 

yup sure is. thats my winner over the 3series coupe.

 

they are predicting it will fall between 40-55k. 40k for the base a5 and 55k for the s5. i think it will be higher though

 

Yea, the appearance was designed by Walter deSilva, the guy who also designed Alfa Romeo 156 and Seat Leon, so no doubt it's not gonna be a bad design. But if you were to compare its handling, and ride with the BMW 3 series, then they are not even close. Sure it's built on the new chassis known as MLB, with new suspension design, less weight in the front, while A5 specifically has 40/60 torque split, but seems like all of these don't help the car to outhandle the bimmer, both steering feel and actually cornering limit. Also, the suspension setup is too stiff and thus the ride is only comfy on very smooth roads.

 

There's a thread about this. Do a search.

 

yeah just search for Audi A5. you'll find it super easily.

 

didnt find anything recent, so i figured id bring on another one. just like some of you fairy's do with the lego threads :gheywave: :gheyfight: :gheyhug:

 

the car is gorgeous....S5...those great lines plus a v8 = sex on wheels

 

car definitely is a beauty, wish it had more power though

 

OH NOES!!!!
Jesal is gonna have to keep the BMW and get this too!

 

I figure the A5 FWD 3.2 will start at about $40k and the S5 at $50k.

Which is interesting because that would mean the A5 would be disproportionally higher in the US than the currency conversion of an A4 would be.

Doing straight conversions (minus VAT or whatever the Germans have) an A4 in Germany is about 90% of what it is in the US. But that would put a FWD 3.2 A5 at $33,300 and I don't think it will start that cheaply considering the TT is in that area.

 

Quattro only in the U.S

Prices will be between the A4 and A6. My guess it will start at around $41k for the A5...

I think the car is beautiful but would never pay that much for the 3.2 engine.

Took me one try...wow. Very hard.

 

yeah and he would have found that in Car Talk.. come on dude. not everyone creates 50 threads and 500 posts per day such that they need to scour the entire board to make sure nobody has made any mention of it already... and besides, I think this thread is separate from "News"... I mean, its a TALK thread with its own, separate main idea.

 

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today...? The OP said he never knew this car was coming out.

So, trying to be helpful, I suggested he look up the main thread where it has info and more pics. I wasn't saying this was a repost or lock it up, was I...? Seriously, WTF are you on about...?

 

I've made my point.

 

Well, then...please carry on.
