Tell me about them.

I know nothing about Audi but a black, or dark grey, A5 passed me on the highway today and I was about licking the window as it drove past.

AWD would be good, and it must be a manual trans.

Think of an Audi A5 as an A4 with less doors.  We have an A4 Avant.  Great car, no regrets, no issues during one and a half years of mostly NYC driving hell.  Manual transmissions are slowly fading away in favor of the 7 speed DSG.

Excuse me.  I think I need some alone time.

The A5 is as Howie said an A4 coupé. 

The one you want is the A5 sportwagen TDI, but I doubt they'll bring it to the USA

3.0 V6 TDI

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Love the wheels on the op car.  I want to drive up next to it, throw something at the wheels, and then watch it get diced up like an onion.

I understand your feelings ML. 

There's an R8 and an A8 at one of the hospitals I work at.  [drool]     

Saw a dark red A3 wagon with black rims on the highway recently.  That's the only wagon I've ever considered buying.

Love that sound Kop!! 

Salesman at Audi Chandler was trying to sell me a 2 door..if not the same model as pictured above. 

IIRC..it had the R8 engine in it without the price tag.

A guy about 2 blocks from me has an S5...He sort of grins every time I go out of my way to walk my dog past his house. That car is pure sex for a daily driver.
Of course, there are also 3 7 series BMWs, 2 CLS500s, a 500SLK and a C63 AMG in the townhouse development I also make it a point to walk by...

I've seen a few S5's and A5's running around here and looked them up because I love the look of the cars.  From what I've read, unfortunately, for what you pay, you are better off with a BMW performance wise.  But looks wise, the S5 is one of my favorite cars out there!
