Not intentionally. My Audi dealership said that Audi removed a lot of allocations of the S5/A5 for confidential reasons. The GSM thinks that Audi is doing this because they make more in international markets then the USA, as the USA dollar falls. They were pretty pissed off as they had to refund some deposits.

They could just raise their prices. In the US we've been paying less than everyone else for decades (hell, for BMWs we still are) - we can take our ass-whooping just like they did.

The S5 looks better stock 90% of the time imo. Most of these modifications I've seen online look gotty.

Drove the S5 on a track at the Pocono Raceway. A little light in HP and torque for the weight, A5 is probably worse in that respect. However, definitely respectable and I think very attractive. I wouldn't put one up against an even moderately modded 335 coupe though. Anyone seen a objective realworld comparison (besides just HP and torque numbers)?

Is there a way for S5 owners to remedy the headlight amber?
