      The A5 is IMO the uglier of the Audis. I've been studying the S5 from top to bottom, and every detail up front. The interior is rock solid. It's too irregularly bulgy - that's the best explanation I can come up with. Something in the back of my brain is telling me that the asymmetry is broken in some way. The R8 on the other hand... As for the "regular" Audis, I really like the A6. I love all the details of it (assuming it's got the S-line kit - the regular look doesn't cut it). The tail lights of the A6 is one detail which has really caught my eyes. The way it lights up in the dark is just bloody amazing. On the same note, I will admit that the front lights on the A5 and R8 are equally good looking. Have you seen photos of the R8 light up in the dark? Whoa... For the time being, I'm very content with my A4. I didn't want to spend the extra €10000 to get an equivalent A6 (in terms of equipment). Maybe next time around. :) ps. The local car Audi reseller has bought an S5 to use as demo car. The owner of the company uses it as day-to-day vehicle, and parks it close to a grocery shop where I shop often. It would seem that Audi does not put intelligence requirements on their resellers, because the interior/exterior color combination they ordered for that S5 should be enough to lose their reseller status. ds. pps. The sound of the S5's V8 is... enough to make me wet my pants. :-D dds.

      Exactly, broken for the better. The new A4 has some A5 styling in it, thank god.

            Good grief - you'd think Audi could afford a web developer who could load the swap images in without having to postback to the server each time!!!! Anyone from Audi listening..? I can do it... ! :-)

            That is Autoblog. At the same time I dislike car websites that don't provide permalinks to photos. You see a nice angle on a car but can't get the URL for that page because of some stupid JS gallery.

                                hehe. My advice to new drivers is to buy a cheap, small, fun car. Don't ruin it by buying a big, expensive car first. That day will come in time, don't miss out on the small car time :)

                                Until someone makes a small car with the same amount of drivers leg room as a full size sedan I can't downsize. I don't need the extra foot of trunk space, but without the extra 2 inches of back traversal in the seat I wouldn't be able to drive anywhere more than an hour away.

                                  Not for nothing, but I believe you're comparing the new RS4 with the previous generation M3. The new M3 is hitting the streets in Europe this month and we'll get it in the states early next year. Gotta love the RS4, though. Certainly no argument there. :omg:

                                      I thought we were talking about cars?

                                        I know Jorgen likes his Audis and AFAIR there are a few others here too. To be honest I've liked them but not loved them. That is until the Audi A5 showed up. For the first time I've thought "Now that, that I would buy"[^]. And apparently it is good to drive too. Up there with BMW.

                                        I still prefer the TT Roadster (the old style "soft-top handbag" one, not the new "with added testosterone so we can sell to the guys as well" model). It's great fun to drive too. Shame I'm stuck with the Laguna for now. :doh:

                                          ...you Yanks and Canucks spell tyres as tires.
