Since that's what the order guide has said since day one. Shoot me an email if you don't believe me and I'll send you the order guide. No manual in the A5 or S5 Cabrio. Only the 7 speed S-tronic gearbox is available in the Cabrio. So the RS4 would be the instant winner if you want to row your own.

is this just in the US or worldwide? I dont understand why Audi always does this. can you copy that page of the order guide?

somewhere AOA said A5/S5 cabs wont have manuals, until later in the cycle depends on demand and market analysis and dealer feedback, etc. ...so figure next year.

...get the RS4 if you love 6sp, of if you want a 7sp S-tronic, with better mpg get the S5 cab! ...theres a black with red int fully loaded (but no sport diff), delivery in August, no price yet! ...it will sell for MSRP no boubt before it gets here!

Order guide is up in the A5 and B8 A4 forums with limited pricing info now. I'll keep everyone posted as more comes in.

Remember the stealth factor guys. Up until i was 30 i used to drive red coupes, tickets galore, now with dark blue and black sedans i zip through. No ticket in 5 years and sold my V1 a while back.

You get a bright colored coupe and you paint yourself as a target.

Debadge the RS4, and to the RWD/Automatik crowd you are nothing more than an "old" A4. This is the beauty of understated power.

Yes this is what I see as well. Much less attention than a 3 or even 5 series BMW. A slightly "riced up" A4 with bulging fenders and biggish rims.
Dudes with Mini Vans like to blow by me. 99.99% I could care less.
When people ask me what kind of Audi is that? I say an RS4. They say yes A4's are not that bad. I do not correct them

fairly certain Im going with the RS4.. found a few possibilities. Really like the white one out there but at 16,000 miles the price doesnt seem all that reasonable.
