so they are going to put the 2.0T on the a5 as well? ummm, guess they want to get more a5 on the road huh?

r8 is getting full led headlights, that's doing to be interesting, i want to see how that looks

seems like a lot of very reasonable changes to rationalize and simplify the product line.

So it looks like everyone got their wish. No more A4 3.2. Just A4 2.0T and S4.

But I am sure this was already going to happen. Like the other German makes, they seem to make substantial changes just about every year.

Sounds like just the 2.0T Quattro ?

ny goodness, thanks for the video!!!!! what a fantastic car. if i have 200k to burn, i'd really be tempted on this v10

man, over 8000rpm redline on v10, want to hear that in person!

I8ABMR

I am a bit in love with the new A5. I have seen 2 or 3 and they are very nice

f=ma

anyone want to estimate the price range of a s4 sedan? I'm decided between that and a few others including 335xi sedan.

bitkahuna

haha, yes, amazing. and not only does it sound and go great, i think the looks are just crazy good. mean but GREAT proportions and lines.

Now the next move they need is to get rid of 90% of the workers at dealerships and hire people that actually want to speak to a fellow human being.

Even while Audi takes jabs at Lexus, I want them to break the 100k sales barrier here soon!

So the A4 will only have the 2.0T?
