Default Wow, is the Sportback beautiful!

We were looking for something with more utility when we ended the lease on our G37 Convertible. We decided not to go too expensive, so we chose a '17 Mazda CX-5. But I decided to stop by the Audi dealership to take a look at what we had passed up. There was an A5 Sportback in Florett Silver sitting right out in front. What a stunning car! It looks so much longer and sleeker than my A4. Anyway, I think I know what we will be getting at the end of the A4 lease. Very jealous of you guys who already have one.

Agreed. It is beautiful, having seen an A5SB last week. But it's also more money. Especially with no ACNA discount right now, the differential between an S5SB Prestige at MSRP and S4 equipped identically is almost $7K before tax.

I think I may well have to wait...

I can't wait to see one in person... Hopefuly mine should arrive soon. I have been waiting an eternity for an S4, then I changed my mind and switched my command for an S5 SB. So I have been waiting since something like October 2016 for my new B9 ride to arrive... haha!

You made a great decision! The car is stunning in person. IMO it looks much better than the coupe.

Stopped at our new Audi dealer in Pensacola today in our S5SB. As they didn't have one themselves, it got quite a lot of attention. I'm awaiting a few commission checks as a result!

I had a '15 S5 in Florett Silver and it pales in comparison to the '18 SB. Jealous!
