You are in the Audi A5 and S5 Forum. Your Host is claires
Anyone have the A5 in Meteor Grey? I haven't seen this Audi color and I'm interested in your impressions.

Very nice color, but it will show dirt and swirls if that's a concern. I would say the photo in the link is fairly accurate, a tiny bit on the light side if anything? GREAT car, by the way!  But, as you probably already know, be prepared to wait. I waited almost nine months for mine but it was worth it!

Replying to: a5liz (May 27, 2008 6:46 pm) I'm actually interested in the Meteor Grey because it's being offered on the '09 A3. Of course, I'd LOVE it on my very own A5, but that's not gonna happen. |

I love the looks of the A5, but what's with the top speed being governed at 130 mph ? Why does Audi keep doing this ? I hear about American regulations, but then you have the S5 going all the way to 155 mph. BMW doesn't govern its 3-Series at 130 mph with the sport package. My question is: does anyone know where to go to remove this top speed governor or raise it ? I think it's a joke that the A5 should be governed at 130.

Does anyone know if Audi will bring the diesel here? With the price of gas now, I'm looking for a diesel which seems like a good option. I got burned by the Japanese hybrid which is a lot of hype and lot of money for an illusion of environmental benefit and lower cost overall. Can't find anything on the audiusa.com website.

The value is in the beholder. Have you test drove them both? IMO, there isn't anything from Japan that comes as well screwed together as something from Germany. The feel from behind the wheel is light years different. If you don't have the extra 10 G's the whole problem is solved.

Replying to: dnabooks (Aug 26, 2008 9:09 am) The 3.2 V-6 is probably Audi's most reliable engine. Superior corrosion protection. Overall refinement and quality of material. Take one for a spin. An Audi just feels superior in every way.
