A5 V. BMW

I think practical is better sometimes.
Imagine how worried you would be with white leather. Especially if there are people getting in and out a lot. I think i might end up getting the black because of that too. I heard someone on one of these forums say that white leather can tear more easily too. It might have been because of the type of leather it was. I think it was alcantara, it may be softer or something. Another option for seats is the bi colour with white on the inside and black on the outsides of the seats, also white leather on the door panels and then white stitching. I don't think that would look good with many exterior colours though. It probably only suits a black or white exterior. I got that idea from looking at the Q7 V12TDI pics, I think it looks good. I've got a lot of decisions to make with colours and inlays etc, I'll post a thread if I find out whats behind the stainless steel inlay issue. It would be good to get to the bottom of that mystery and find out if and how a total SS package can be ordered.<ul><li><a href="http://gallery.audiworld.com/gallery/awframes/indexq7v12.html">http://gallery.audiworld.com/gallery/awframes/indexq7v12.html</a</li></ul>

I hope its not you, honestly.
There may be other people who don't like the A5, but none of them make as much of a fuss as you.
"You talk about "stirring the pot". Well it takes two and you always seem to be a willing participant. I'm always going to call out Audi when they release cars with weak engines."
Well I guess I'll have to just keep correcting you when you compare the wrong cars or say other things which are rediculose or inaccurate.
I just can't believe that you can't accept that the A5 isn't designed to be a performance sedan, its the S5. I'm sure everyone has learn't to accept that except for you. And don't give me the price difference excuse again, as I posted down I'll have to pay around US$140,000 for an S5. You only have to pay around US$50,000. Who here should be complaining about prices and who shouldn't?
Makes me almost want to get up and leave, I could buy an R8 in the US or an S5 here. Fanfrickentastic.

If I were him I'd buy a 335i. I think thats a worry that I know what car he wants and he doesn't.
Everyone should be able to like something for what it is. I don't think he appreciates the S5 or the 335i for what they are. He's said "they both have major flaws" in the past.
Nothings perfect in this world and you just have to choose whats best. I think he's wanting a 335i but not sure, hence his constant comments. I just don't understand why he won't get the car. I would be absolutely satisfied with either of the cars. But in reality I'd buy the S5, but thats me.
Spoonie buy a 335i and be happy. Seriously do it.

The A5 is not going to deliver the power you want...
In terms of power you will easily lose but handling is a different story. The A5 also looks a lot better and less common too. If you want to beat him in power you will need a car with at least 320hp. If you are open to used then you have a lot of options. The ones that come to mind,
used C6 vette
used M3
new Sti or Evo
BMW 135i=little more power but less status
G37 coupe
used 02+ 996=much more style about same power
