... on the S5, the startup MMI splash screen says "S5" and yet it shows an A5. Just sayin'. Art department just didn't have it in them to put in S-car graphics? I'm sure someone complained about the 3D car in the MMI already, on the S5 and RS5

Seriously though, is the RS the same? If the RS has it's own pic you could change to it through coding.

The RS is the same. They don't even have a RS manual either. Kind of lame IMHO.

The S5 is an A5 variant.

Hope this info doesn't cause too much angst and distress.

No, the S5 is a different model. Variant is the different trims within a single car model. You can argue that the S5 could have been a A5 variant but it's not.

Hope this info doesn't cause too much angst and distress. :-)

Meh, picture of an A5 is still better than picture of generic car. Ha...



Also does the sportback show 4-doors?

It does show 5 doors. But they don't bother putting in a distinct A5/S5/RS5 splash screen or 3D model. Not like they don't have access to models, the website people obviously have detailed 3D models for the build-your-car function.

On the Lambo Urus MMI they put a 3D model of the Urus in your color, with your specific wheels. I guess it's just a question of budget, but come on, it's not that much effort.
