The only tasteful spoiler is the one integrated into the S5
It's a bit more pronounced than the trunk lip on the A5 and looks very nice. Too bad it's not an option on the A5 (as I'm sure replacing the trunk lid is expensive).

It all depends on an individual’s taste, to most people, yes the current design with its beautiful lines and curves certainly make the A5 unnecessary to add anything to it.
However, pretty soon the new RS5 will have the retractable rear wing/spoiler and it simply looks pretty good; that's why I decided to get the rear spoiler from the local dealer over other designs, although it doesn't retract it looks very close to the RS ones. Like one says, sort of like the Bugatti Veyron or the hign end Porsches.
Also, in order for Audi to get to approve the design, I’m pretty sure that they did all their R&D and had a very good reason to do so.
Personally, I had doubts too in terms of adding a spoiler because I didn’t want to be a RS “wannabe” and making my A5 look cheap but for me more than the looks, it's about the function which undoubtedly creates the additional down force during high speed. Furthermore, why do I need this function? Well the answer is pretty simple and I will leave it up to your imaginations.

Nothing I would even consider
