Saw my first S5 SB in the wild today. Walked out of my local tap house and there was a Navarra Blue one parked there. I have seen a couple of A5 SBs, both Moonlight Blue.

Spotted one today on my way to work around 10am as they pulled into a gas station just off RT 78 in the Clinton NJ area. Same color as mine too - Navarra Blue, sporting some nice aftermarket wheels. Looked to be PA license plates. Anyone from here?

Default twin spotted...

I saw an S5 Sportback in Daytona Grey/black pulling out of Niagara Gateway in Grimsby yesterday. I didn't catch the plates, but it went west on the QEW service road so it could be local.

Not an SB, but did see a black S5 Coupe in Linden, NJ recently. Plus a white S5 in Woodbridge, NJ.

I finally got my "sportback wave!" I pulled up next to a Gotland Green SB at a stoplight (an even rarer color than my matador red!) and shared a mutual wave. I have over 27,000 miles on my car and I still love it!

I probably see about 5 A5/S5 SBs everyday going to and from work on the highway.

Not a one in the KC area. No 2018 A5/S5 or RS5 Coupes or SBs. Have now been a 2018 RS5 owner for 7 months, and have not encountered another. Have seen several Q5-Q7s along with 5-6 A7s and a number of A4s. Rarely does a day go by without a thumbs up from another driver.....

Sat right behind a black SBS5 today in traffic on 485 and I have seen a white one zipping around town but I have not seen many at all.

There are Q5s and Q7s everywhere and A4s are quite common too but they are older models.

Ran across an A5-SB with PA plates this afternoon on my Taco run. Central New Jersey, nearing the entrance to RT 287. They are still very rare sightings for me, despite this part of the country being nearly overrun with Audi's of almost every other model.
