Replying to: wolfsport (Mar 14, 2007 5:02 am) I wish they'd figured that out with the A3. IMO, buying Audi means buying Quattro. FWD is for VW, says I.

Replying to: wale_bate1 (Mar 14, 2007 7:55 am) ...and available first w/ 6 - speed manual tranny, too! I looked at an A3 2.0 Quattro w/ 6 speed in Ingolstadt (visiting in-laws), but I wasn't in the market at the time to order one, drive it around and then ship it as a gray-market vehicle. It's just a pity we couldn't get that model over here. |

C&D site has A5/S5 first drive article. S5 comes first, A5 next year. Kind of strange to start with the S. 1st Drive |

| Just saw the A5/S5 article and pics on Edmunds site. The car is attractive but seems to lack a real styling punch. No doubt it will be a fantastic driver w/quattro. The back seat is a real laugher. It looks more like a platform for small kids and/or packages. In any event it's really nice to see so many of the luxury auto makers coming back to the two door coupe segment, it's long overdue. | |

Found it curious that Edmunds thought the rear seating was spacious. Every other first impression I read said it's tight. One other article, can't remember which, noted the rear headroom was better than you would believe. I'm inclined to believe there won't be much room back there, but wouldn't mind being surprised. |

Replying to: dhamilton (Feb 20, 2007 8:17 am) But I have one thing holding me back, the reputation Audi has and the "maintenance" problems..maybe ill wait for the first year of this model to come out.....but that means a year longer to get one!!! arghhhh

The basic 3.2l 24V engine, which has been continually improved upon (IMHO), has been around for at least a couple years now. Remember, if you want don't want a manual tranny, you will have to wait an additional 6 months anyway. I'd prefer the manual, myself. |
