Although it may not be bimmer, don't think they were out to make a bimmer anyways, it looks a lot better (inside and out). I think they made a great car, refined, classy, great lines, smooth power. +1 to Audi.

I actually just did the online video ad campaign for the Audi S5. It's going to run starting next week all the way through to the end of February. When you see the online video commerical all over the top sites on the net, click on it!

Looks like the German version of a Dodge Charger.

I really like the S5 - just not sure if it has enough headroom. At $56K fully loaded, it seems like an awesome deal given its tailored styling and blazing speed (0-60 in 4.5 and 1/4 mile in 13.1 sec. during Motor Trend's COTY testing).


Some nice pics:
