Audi S5 vs. BMW 335i... Test & Video!

Man the S5 (and Audi's in general!) is so damn sweet! And I can just imagine the upcoming RS5 w/ 420hp+

Hrm. Not sure what to say. The S5 looks absolutely amazing - those LEDs are so striking it's really a beautiful design. My dad has an S4 and that engine (which is even better in the S5) is really nice. Still; kind of crazy the 335i can keep for 15% less money.

S5 owns. Beautiful, V8 grunt, better interior and it's not a dime a dozen 3 series.

I don't think I'd blame anyone for preferring either car, really.

My only problem is that the lease rates will inevitably be somewhere between terrible and OK whereas the 335i's rates are great... that's what would make the decision for me as I wouldn't want to own either car.

It's not? People go on and on about a few thousand $ when they talk about the G37, IS350, 335i, A4, A5, etc... The difference between the S5 and 335i/G37/IS350 etc is (likely) going to be better than 8-15k (depending on which car you compare to) stateside. I guess it's all relative.

Anyway, the S5 =
