The S5 is a stunning car, beautiful inside and out. One of these days bimmer going to have to step up their interiors.
Agree, the BMW interiors are beyond understated but thank God they don't use chrome like Audi...........

I personally think the new Audi interior's are the best out of Lexus, BMW, and Benz. S5 with the Leather and Alcantara inserts, and the carbon inlays, looks amazing. There isn't much chrome, its mainly brushed aluminum.

Like the S5 - just not sure if it has enough headroom.

Some nice pics:

Nice catch - I did a quick search and it seems the S5 does have dual exhausts (see link below). Maybe the photos I posted are of a Canadian etc. car.

It has a quad exhaust, just can't see it in those pics. Here is a better pic.

2007 U.S. sales of the Audi S5 from September though December were only 625 units (about 150 per month).

This is a slower pace than even the hard-to-sell BMW M5 (about 160 per month), and well behind the sales pace of 500 units per month of the BMW 550. The BMW 6 series sells about 750 units per month.

Why the slow pace of this hot new Audi? Is Audi limiting supply?

By the way, there were 240 Audi R8s sold during this same time.
