I think Audi is the only manufacturer right now making some nice looking stuff. Good job on this car whether it's an A5, S5 or RS5. All 3 look good to me.

Spot on. Maybe I don't have a good eye or maybe it's because I've never seen an A5 and S5 side-by-side, but the only aesthetic difference I've been able to see in the new coupes is quad exhausts in the S5.

The changes are always subtle on these cars. Mostly front and rear airworks, bigger rubber and maybe fender. It will be slower than an M3 in most cases even though it has more HP and it will cost a little more. Nonetheless, I will order one in Suzuka grey and Magma red as soon as the US books are open.

I dig it.......... It doesnt scream " boy racer" but it has aggressive look to it.

I think with the proper sized wheels and the car being lowered it will look the part.

When I first got my S5 , It was boring but after the wheels, suspension and a few other minor tweeks I was very happy with it and mostly everyone who saw it , Agreed
