I'll start it off with what I'm driving today: A Misano red S5. And yes, it is a manual.

this is an SLine A5. not an S5. S5s have metal mirrors, as well as badging on the front fenders. Also, they don't have that wheezy 4cyl under the hood.

You can get S models with body colour mirrors, and there is a S5 badge on the front. And the side badge is the optional "Supercharged" badge you can get

sorry to burst your bubble, but it's an S5. I work for the dealership and was just driving it around. If you'd like a photo of the badging or window sticker, I'd be glad to help you out.

Its called the Black Optic package. Black grill, black window trim, RS5 wheels, and color matched mirror caps.

maybe so. that it looks absolutely no different than the much cheaper and much more disappointing A5 is unfortunate.

You had to post that, didn't you... DAMN.

S5...

Supercharged V6, manual gearbox, 3-diff AWD, torque vectoring sport differential, black package (chrome trim delete), and bright red paint.

Aside from not being a 3-door fastback hatch like the Quattro Sport concept... what about this car is NOT to like?

The price and resale value of these cars being beyond my budget is the only other thing I can think of.

Apart from the aluminum side covers, the things don't really look that different in the first place. A keen eye would notice, and most people don't care to notice.

Which is part of what makes the S5/S4 awesome. They look very similar to their A5/A4 counterparts but pack much more performance. Great sleepers.....
