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.

And I'd take this over an M3 any day. The S5 is just sexier.

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...

So yes, it is a good looking car, but it's not as hot as everyone is making it out to be (imo). (and no, I don't think the M3 is better looking).
