Saw an Audi A5 on the road today

mds82 · 03-12-2008, 01:47 PM

Driving down the Merrit Parkway in CT today i see an gray audi A5 cruising the opposite way down the road.. No Pics , but damn that thing was really nice looking. the new look with the LED's in the headlights is definitely an eye catcher !!!

Now this is in real life, or in another one of your Bright-LED-in-the-headlight wet dreams??

shragon · 03-12-2008, 04:47 PM

saw a white a5 today. it passed me up while going to work. i was only able to catch a good look of the rear.

i thought it looked ok.

Design1314 · 03-12-2008, 05:34 PM

Saw one last month... thought was just okay.

I passed a dark grey (maybe Dolphin Grey) S5 on the freeway a week or so ago. I still can't get used to the body shape. It's not sharp and angular, or smooth and sexy... kind of lost in the middle.

The LED running lights were amazing though

e92phreak · 03-12-2008, 05:44 PM

are they that rare? I work next to the Audi headquarters and I see them all the time. In fact at the Woodland Hills Todai yesterday, there was an A5 with the MFG license plate on it. I raced an R8 the other day on the 23N freeway.

x5love · 03-12-2008, 07:34 PM

They are pretty rare, and Audi wants it that way. It's a low volume car.

Year's_End · 03-12-2008, 07:43 PM

lol the original post sounded exactly like my post about the sighting of the new A4 on the road lol.

ejazbmw · 03-12-2008, 07:53 PM

i saw one coming towards me last week i had no clue what it was until i so the badge. I have to admit they look really nice kudos for audi and there new line up there doing really good with redesigning their cars

g9sBMW · 03-12-2008, 08:02 PM

Haven't seen the LED headlights on at night but this is what it looks like

Boost Gomez · 03-12-2008, 11:04 PM

I recently saw a red S5.. I liked the LED's up front, but that's about it.

D0WNxiSH1FT · 03-12-2008, 11:11 PM

Ive seen a couple S5's.

There is a 3 month waiting list to get one. The R8 has a 3 year waiting list.

That's what the Audi's in Mass are saying, could be different in your area.

What part of Westchester are you from? Im from Somers.

I like Audis and love the look of the A5 but took it out on a test drive and was not too impressed. I just expected more but it felt really heavy. I did not feel that excitement driving the car so I passed on it.

I enjoyed driving the A4 more. I will be seriously looking at getting the new B8 A4 when my lease is up in 2 years.

LjubomirE90 · 03-13-2008, 08:32 AM

This is my friends A5 3.0 TDI these are mobil phone pics so pics are not perfect. In few days I will get my coupe so we will make some A5-BMW pics!! This is Meteor Gray!! And has S exterior!!

Enjoy!!!

Josh49 · 03-13-2008, 09:56 AM

^^Those are some good pictures for a phone!!

!Xoible · 03-13-2008, 10:25 AM

Hula-Hula · 03-13-2008, 10:42 AM

The S5 is amazing, the regular A5 is.... kinda boring
