Allow the driver to select auto stop off as the default
Add the brake hold feature for the US cars (since it already comes in the European vehicles)
Add remote start and allow that feature to be accessed from the Audi Connect App on your phone
Allow the doors to be locked from the switch on the door panel when getting out of the car
Put the RPM's in the heads up display
Overall, I think Audi has hit it out of the park with the new S5. I have over 7,000 miles now in under 6 months because I just can't stop driving the thing (work is only 7 miles away so most of those miles have been "fun" miles). I think most of us will only be able to come up with little things because the car is already just that good and offers a lot more than the competition for the price point.

good top three...
The Mercedes dealer showed me that the backup camera on the C43 was so good you didn't need rear cross traffic alert and he was right. In general Audi tech - praised by so many here - is feature-driven and buggy. M-B's and BMW's is more ergonomic. On the other hand - with the singular exception of throttle response - the car simply drives better than the C43 or 440i xDrive Gran Coupe. What I'd like to see in this car is the 48V system from the A7 plus eTurbos. Heck, I'd even pay for an RS5 Sportback to get that.

Unfortunately this wont change in the USA...this (and the ugly orange reflectors) is due to DOT requirements. I am sure that Audi would not design separate headrests/headlights for the US market if they didn't have to

I love my A5 SB, but I do wish it had more cabin storage. When I traded in my 2015 Q5 for the SB, I had to get rid of a ton of stuff I used to be able to stow in the Q5’s cabin.
