The interior kicks BMW's ass. BMW haven't changed their gauges in over 20 years. Oh yeah, they put illuminated orange rings around them, lol. And Audi's full color display in-between the gauges makes BMW's Monochromatic display look old-school and cheap. Too bad the A5 will be underpowered, and while the S5 will offer 335 type performance, the S5 will be a gas guzzler (13/19 mpg)

I think it is a better looking car than my e92. But remember, it is an Audi....which can mean reliability issues... poorer resale....and lesser handling (if quattro).

Lesser handling because its quattro? You obviously know nothing about handling and quattro. I have owned 4 BMWs..and 7 Audis...I can attest that quattro helps with handling if you can overcome the weight gain. I have eaten many BMWs on track in some of my Audis. For one thing..you can get on the throttle MUCH earlier.

i almost completely disagree that audi's always have much better interiors than bimmers. i agree that the materials are a bit nicer, but i think they are completely dizzying to look at with all the buttons and colors. and btw, the orange on bmw is to reduce driver's eye fatigue, something that was borrowed from fighter jets. i think the orange is classic and great to look at at night.

I like the interior and the back isn't bad either. The 3/4 sideshot had an elegance to it I liked.
The front however makes me  . They've pulled off "dodge" more than they've pulled off "aston martin"It's just my subjective input though. I'm sure many will love it. -BMW2006 |
