Default S5 Production Numbers

Does anyone know how many S5s are produced each year and--perhaps more importantly--how many make it to the US?

All I know is that I rarely see them on the streets of Milwaukee.

The first one (2013 updated) I saw outside the showroom was in lower Manhattan in July. I still had not gotten my ordered one. The wife said I was like "a kid in a candy store"

The exclusivity of this car is one of its many, many strong points. Bimmer 5 series are in this cars class but are seen too often.

Only thing I don't like about the S5 is the auto non-folding mirrors and non-sliding moonroof. The Q5 we have has both. They are nice feature if you've gotten use to them.

So the sunroof doesn't slide back, it only tilts (I was confused about that!). What a drag! Frankly, I'd rather not have a sunroof than one that only tilts.

yea, it bothered me too, but when i thought about it. my prev car had a regular sunroof and i only fully opened that maybe 5 times over the 8-9 yrs i had the car. i only use the tilt option, yet it still bothered me so much this car didn't fully open. it's a HUUGE open panoramic sunroof though.. it's nice

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure I'll be okay with the sunroof too. It's weird--last year I don't think I opened the sunroof on my S4 once--but I used to spend the summer with it open.

I had the same consideration and considered it a drawback if I ordered a S5 (vs. the S4). However in my present vehicle, I have a panoramic roof. Rarely is this open due to the noise generated and difficulty with using the hands-free phone system. It should be good enough to have natural light into the cabin.
