Boostedg35 · 04-09-2007, 01:02 PM

wow simply hot! i was considering the 335i but i might wait

TonyLukes3 · 04-09-2007, 01:04 PM

The new A5/S5 does look great, but it looks awfully similar to the e92. If it's a toss-up, I'll always end up with the BMW

I do like it though!

Boostedg35 · 04-09-2007, 01:07 PM

just so everyone knows this is the audi a5/s5 that is going to be released this year.

boostedtwin · 04-09-2007, 01:07 PM

It's a chavved up photoshop of an A5.

Boostedg35 · 04-09-2007, 01:09 PM

i hear a5 is high 30k's to 40k and the s5 will be low 50k's to undercut the m3 and compete

happen = be succesful or be manufactured?

like ^^ said... it's already being made... i dunno what your thinking

... but yeah i haven't heard as much hype about the a5... so i don't know how successful it will be. at least with the bmw, following the intro of the e90, everybody was wondering how the coupe would change in the new gen.

tom333 · 04-09-2007, 01:09 PM

audi's are bad with reliability and please don't compare them to sacred things like bmws.

(i own both but can't wait till it's only bmw's in my garage)

shragon · 04-09-2007, 01:10 PM

daKaiser · 04-09-2007, 01:15 PM

of course the a5 wont come as its shown on the photo

the normal a5 looks like car for best agers. sry!

06330i · 04-09-2007, 01:15 PM

my bad. haha yes i just read an article that it IS MADE.

TiAg335i · 04-09-2007, 01:21 PM

In case the OP didn't know that's a photoshop..doesn't even look that great..looks bloated.

Trust me, you'll be much happier in a 335i, here's why...

It's funny how BMW is utilizing Audi's philosophy...small displacement engines with turbos = excellent performance and economy (and relatively cheap tunability to boot). I am surprised that the A5 won't be offered with a 2.0T as the base engine in the NA market (it gets a 3.1 V6). Even though the S5 is much more money, it still won't be able to run with the 335i. (estimated 0-60 times for the S5 fall in the 5.0 sec category) This makes a 335i the best bang for your buck at this price point, and audi simply cannot compete (even though the A5/S5 designs are gorgeous)

The upcoming RS5 however....

(i know...it'll be really expensive and still just be able to run with a tuned 335i)

Boostedg35 · 04-09-2007, 01:45 PM

of course i know its a photochop.. the only things changed or lowered wheels and front bumper...

i believe all of those will be mods that are real in the future.. it seems to be a great car..

im not looking for all out performace. i already have a car for that. im looking for a luxury coupe with some pep to it

mjh93sa · 04-09-2007, 01:53 PM

Nice photoshop... shame about the car

If they make an A5 that looks exactly like that I'll be the first in line... to see it try and make a turn or get over a speedbump

The standard A5 pics doing the rounds look great, but given friends experiences of reliability and local dealer service I won't be going there soon.

Crap statement. I've had way better reliability out of my Audis than I have my BMWs. On top of that, the Audi dealers in my area actually understand the idea of customer service, which BMW does not.

I'm a big Audi fan, but they have GOT to cure that front weight front drive bias before I'll buy another one. If they can do 50/50 on the weight, or close, and then do a 70% rear bias on the AWD, I'd gladly move over to Audi (again).

aapriadi · 04-09-2007, 05:39 PM

wow that a5 looks so hot modified...i'll take both if i have the cash, a5 as daily car and the e92 as my weekend car...a5 will only have exterior mods like the one pictured and the e92 will have performance and exterior mods

I have seen a black S5 on the A9 near Munich last week, not so great in person!

OwnAge · 04-09-2007, 10:09 PM

I cant even believe some of the replies . 1st its a good pshop of the A5/S
Second, of course it would be a little off cause it is a pshop and yes the car is coming out. Ppl don't even know its an Audi's/or other models/makes besides bimmer? My 3 year old brother can tell me that's an A5 ps.
