Replying to: tagman (Jan 18, 2009 5:32 pm) After tiring of my Mercedes and the service I received, I went to Lexus and expected to never return to German ownership. Audi has made great strides in the last few years and I was willing to give them a shot with the S6, which has been a superb vehicle. On the other hand, if my experience was anything like Dewey's, Audi would be buying the car back, and I would be on my way to the Infiniti dealer. Rock I hope your experience with your S5 is as good as mine has been with the S6. I've seen A5s on the road a few times now, and it is an absolutely stunning car. The 3 coupe is my favorite BMW design, but the A5 makes the BMW look dull as dishwater.

Replying to: circlew (Jan 19, 2009 3:53 am) Personally I would pick the 3-coupe over the A5 on any given day, I think the e92 is the BEST LOOKING entry level lux coupe out on the street right now, at least exterior wise, interior is another story all together... For me the A/S5 is a handsome car but it is definitely not striking, almost forgettable in some ways. On the streets a nice looking 3-coupe will normally make me look at it more than once but never the A/S5. As for the driving dynamics, if the A5 drives anything like the new A4 then it is nothing to write home about, a 335i sports and G37S can easily out-handle it with ease. Surely I am biased but I think my f-sport enhanced IS350 will have no problem out run the A4 on any furface except wet and snow. |

Replying to: rockshocka1 (Jan 19, 2009 10:41 am) That's okay, if the A4 can run on Grizzly Adams then my IS350 can outrun it when it's dry...

I believe it's time to test drive the 335d—my suggestion is the coupe version—and share your feelings here Regards, Jose

Replying to: jlbl (Jan 19, 2009 12:22 pm) USA does not have a coupe version. That would be awesome. But I agree that the 335d is a car worthy of checking out. TM

Replying to: louiswei (Jan 19, 2009 9:55 am) I agree with you.  The 3-Series Coupe is better looking between the two. However, the Audi is definately a good-looker, and is certainly nipping at the 3er's heels. TM

Replying to: tagman (Jan 19, 2009 12:46 pm) For starters, there is a nice post (##278) in BMW 335d 2009+ thread here in Edmunds Forums. I fully agree with what is said in it.  Regards, Jose |

Disregarding interiors, I believe MB designers should do an effort to change this unnecesarily stiff grill. I cannot imagine any good looking body car wrapped around it. Even more if the body design is rounded and soft as current MB E Class one is. This grill does not match past MB elegance, IMO. Regards, Jose |
