Default spotted in Los Angeles

The A5 sport-back looks much better in real life then it does in pics. 101 freeway in Hollywood. It had German plates upfront and Michigan Manufacturer plates in the rear.

Dont you guys think by the time this car makes its way to the US, it's probably due for a facelift pretty soon?

It's basically a 4 door version of the A5/S5.

I looked over and smiled and the ***** copped the biggest attitude, as if he was some movie star and I was looking at him or something. F him and his company car - at least I own mine.

Still, the car was AMAZING.

See them everyday here in Europe. For me, I see a 5 going down the road and when I catch up to it and see it's the four door, I'm like whatever... If I was going for a four door, I'd go with an A4 for the rear seat head room.

Funny... late last night (Thursday) I was at a club in Hollywood and a new black A8 with Michigan plates pulls up to the vallet. Three very white/blond guys with Euro accents get out and get in line behind me. I was about to ask them what the deal was, but it was my turn to get in. Didn't see them inside.

Audi does testing and research in various US regions and these two vehicles are probably in the fleet.
