Got a test drive scheduled for the S5 Sportback tomorrow. Hopefully it's a riot to drive.

Yah my GC is a hatch.... let's just say it is almost exactly the same car as the S5 sportback.... obviously minus the drivetrain and the engine. The design and shape and everything is almost identical

Butt. We'd have the same car and then, given we are , how the fawk will the peeps here tell us apart?





I dunno, I could consider it but the BMW dealerships here have a horrid rep for service that borders on incompetence. Not sure I want that baggage. Although, the 4er in that blue is tits. I think price-wise though, the 4er tops out close to $75K CAD the way I want it...the S5 is $5K less and that's even with me throwing in the differential.

He is white. So, already, a better driver by genetics.

I dunno, does he accept payment in robots? I highly doubt it.

Well, um...the Owdee has a longer aloomineeum trim across...And the front seats are a give-away.

But, geebus...they are darn close. So, I guess boot space would be equal in dimensions.

I am getting a 340 next month, so dont worry we wont have the same car. And my new car is blue.. i am sure yours will be white
I dont know about Canada, but in the US 4 series is significantly cheaper to buy or lease than the S5 sportback.... regardless what the MSRP says. Like it is not even close.....

Dafuq...Maybe I SHOULD move back to the US then.

I'm adding in the Nav and premium packages though...and I think starting out without anything, you are right that the 440 is less. But, it soon blows right past the Owdee in pricing once you load it similarly. I'll try it again at home tonight and see.

Just to give you an idea on the price discrepancy.... my 435GC is about 6xx a month lease with 60k sticker USD,,, $2k drive off.
Similarly equipped S5 is about $200 month more... like i could get a M3/4 for the price of S5....

A fully loaded A4 4 banger cost more to lease than a fully loaded 340 that is 6 cylinder.....

I went out thinking I'd buy a BMW, but I was so uncomfortable in my tester. The Audi was just my favorite. After this lease, I'm going to re-evaluate.

Not that any of that is relevant to Yummy's buying decision.

I do the same thing on swap-a-lease, looking to see what Lexus' people want out of as I can apply my lease benefits to whatever they're paying. Problem is none of these peeps are anywhere close to Texas. Mostly Californians & Florida folk.

Well hang on. D-bag images don't extend to cuz by default, buy anything Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, and etc. in white.

Plowing into things, driving too slow, and not knowing basic driving skills are not d-baggery. It's just genetics.



And remember, it is not wacist if I'm being wacist to my own kind.

dew it Yumcha.

Audi designs somehow keep improving on what's already so great. Always loved the 4-door cou-pay look, starting with the first MB CLS.

Good. Cuz, I'm sure we were THIS close to being reported and getting e-fined.




Anyways, just got back from hooliganing in the S5 Sportback. Um yeah. I'm going to get it.

Going to appraise the MINI Countryman with them mid-next week and then probably put in the deposit for the 2019 S5. I'll keep BMW as an option for negotiation and/or if things go south with Owdee. And yes, of course the Owdee will be white.

Dude. I wacist for a reason.


Of course, it's going to have red seats and red calipers.

I'll also add in heads-up display and the Audi Assist package. I just checked the USA site and I guess Canada's packaging is different...I guess USA! USA! calls it prestige while the Canuckians call it the Tecknik.
