I wish they offered the A5 with the 2.0 TFSI in the US.

Admit it! You're scheming right now on how to convince your wife to let you get a S5 next year!

I am on the waitlist for the S5 S-line, but may end up getting an A4 or A5 S-line. I have yet to test drive one, but I heard the Drive Select option really makes a dramatic difference for handling. Anyone have any experience with DriveSelect?

I am thinking a loaded A5 S-line with Drive Select and B&O stereo would be the best choice, and at under $60K is a real great value.

The S5 is a great car... so is the A5, a bit slower, but no less of a car.

Is the A5 S-line and the S5 visually the same except for the engine?
