Default 2019 S5 For Sale with the shipping blocks....
Audi Warwick, RI is selling a 2019 S5 with the shipping blocks installed, looks great huh? It appears the car is on the dealer showcase spot in a prominent area for all to see! Looks like an S5 Allroad!

If you check their website you’ll see that all their vehicles are photographed in that spot or an indoor photo area, and most [unfortunately] still have their shipping blocks in. I asked them about this one time and was told Audi requires dealers to post pics of new vehicles with a certain amount of time and apparently they take photos before the vehicles are PDI’d and put on the main lot (vehicles are not displayed on their main lot with shipping blocks still in). Agree that it looks terrible though and haven’t seen any dealers that post pics like this.

Gotta give the dealership some credit, they removed the shipping wrap before taking pictures!

Looking that how short the coupe’s front door is, it must be a pain To get in and out of, might as well be a two seater.

Although I ordered a SB, the coupe looks much better in person than in those pictures. It's like that dealer is trying to present the car in the worst possible manner.

Except for the crazy insurance rates it would cost as a “2 Seat Sports Car.”

It’s been that way with every Coupe / hatchback I’ve ever owned — Especially my Toyota Supra!

I don't know. My SQ5 is $12 more a month to insure than my S5 coupe was.

Sorry — my mistake — I meant “2 seat” not”2 door.”

I corrected my post to reflect that mistake.
