A5/S5/RS5 Audi A5 Official Thread II

[Zafiro]

I'll be seeing him on the 10th, so I'll ask the question then.

Bi-turbo and 580hp I heard several times now. ask him if its true

 

[Tumbo]

I like these on the S5(It's nice to have a choice of wheels for an S model)...




and these on the A5...

Ahh...now you see what I mean when I say Audi makes the best wheel design out of the 3 germans

 

[Centurion]

Oh snap, those of some very nice rims. It seem like Audi wants to take on BMW and their gigantic rim catalogue.

 

[DaSilva]

Hey Luw Nice Avatar but actually I had it some weeks ago ^^

Very Soon

 

[Deutsch]

Got my email, several days later after Da Silva, a little different but says much the same...

I dunno, I wasn't thrilled about this car with all the comparisions to the Nuvolari, but I think this might be one of those cars you gotta see in person. One thing is for sure, the interior is just outta here gorgeous. A few live shots from Geneva:

A few more:

[EnI]

Yep, should be seen in person.

(Now follows my personal opinion!!!!!!!)

Because more pics I see more dated car looks. Looks fine, but uninspired.

The only exciting things are red leather & LED daytime running lights.

Otherwise the car is as exciting as a dead fish. Sorry.

Maybe Audi will learn one swooshy line on each side is not enough to make a car exciting.

 

[Merc1]

Lookout, incoming!

Okay. Now I have made up my mind. After seing the live pictures, and seing more A5/S5 pictures, I adore this car. I will forget Nuvolari, and this is the nr.1 Coupé right now. No doubt! Just look at this for gods sake. You can't find better finish anywhere.

LOL Quite a change after your first comments. Anyway, I think the car is very hot. There are still some small details that I'm not so sure if I like but I got to see the car IRL ASAP.

Still don't like the A5's front at all.. the S5 is a lot better and looks more like what i expect from Audi when it comes to forms harmony

I also have to say that Audi's latest rims designs (starting from the S6's) are to busy and complicated to fit the design of the whole car.

 

[markwm]

The wheels on the S5 at geneva look are chromed out and bling bling, unlike the photos above?

AMEN!

The worst thing they're making - the rims! Hideous, disaster, ugly, etc...

Funny! It I made such remarks in the M3 forms I'd be looking at a life time band!!

You're from US, man, but you have some language problems or what?

As for your statement - no you wouldn't. Don't start...

 

[Tumbo]

Btrw, which of these beaties would you choose?

 

[RICHBOY]

I'm now certain that the new A/S5 is not in the same league as the 335i/M3! The A/S5 is in a class well above it. BMW fanatics can say what they won't, they continue to disregard the importantance of quality interiors. Not everyone cares just about the exterior. I want both and BMW has proven time and time again that they could careless.
