Hey Eric.....remember when we drove the E90 and the A4 back to back at the UDE? Remember how the A4 felt so front heavy and a lot less controller than the E90? I think no matter how much power the A5/S5 has it will still be front heavy like the A4/S4. So............WAKE UP before you cross over to the dark side . Well, if you have to cross over to a dark side then Audi is better than the "other one".

If you're into aftermarket tuning, any forced induction vehicle will give you the most performance gains for your money.

I started thinking, daaammn 'What a Beaut' too, when I saw the A5 online.... till I remembered it is still a front wheel drive and with a long front overhang, cheap-looking interior plastics and I just deflated and killed the window straight away.

All respects to Audi, but these are fundamentals which if addressed will then put Audis on a patr with Bimmers, or at least give the mark a fighting chance. Not Impressed.

Sorry :-(
