You're right, I forgot! And then you have the sleek Audi interior like this! Droooooool..... not to mention the ***** out performance.

- where do you live?
- do you visit roadcourses often?
- are you okay with driving a smaller 4-door?

This should be an interesting thread . . .

The interiors of Audi's have ALWAYS looked amazing. But this body style of the A5/S5/RS5 looks way to subdued IMO. I miss the sharp lines/aggressive looks, this is too curvy and "floaty"

Yeah but Audis have virtually always been subdued and that's what many like about it. Sleeper cars (mostly) but will shred many with the wrong intentions.

To my eyes, the B9 5 series looks less subdued than the B8, especially the RS5. I like the curves, and the front end looks much more aggressive than that of the outgoing car. IMO, of course.

I totally agree the front end is much more aggressive and I am a huge fan of it. I'm definitely biased but beyond that though I felt the rest of the car was closer to a Camaro in form than a sleek German coupe. That, combined with what I feel is a "just ok" (seats are amazing though) interior design stopped me from re-upping into another RS5. Oh, and the lack of that glorious V8 soundtrack

That being said I saw the S5 sportback in person and I'm definitely a fan.

The V8 glory days are gone. I absolutely loved the high revving V8s in both my B7 RS4 and then my e92 M3. Seems like Lexus, of all brands, is holding on, however, with their 5 liter NA V8s in their F series of cars.

You can still get V8 in AMG cars, except you get 2 extra turbos.
