i agree with famusface. I really dont understand myself why people say audi interiors are so great. I've been in a few of my friends cars and the newest ones and they arent the greatest to me in terms of design. Quality, yes they are good. Theres nothing about the interiors that would make me want to buy one. The exterior styling is nice though

i have sat in one. I liked it. The only thing that annoys me is the fact the sunroof only tilts. That drives me up the wall. That is why i didn't get a used 645.
I want that V8.

I sat in one the other day. I'm not crazy about the shapes used in the interior but it feels very upscale, and the exterior is simply amazing. Stunning car.

I just hope this carries into the A4, because that might actually be a possibility for me in 2-3 years.

IF i had this car, the first think i'd do, though, is take off the V8 badge on the side.

I saw A5 today and it was definitely hot! Is there any other huge differences in body style? such as different front kit and so on...

Actually, when I first saw the S5 my jaw dropped. And my pants happened to be down, and matter of fact, I shot it in my own mouth.
