Spied: Audi S5 Convertible

Nice!! Very little camo. Darn near production shots. My choices for a new car next summer just grew. They now include Audi S5 convertible (probably won't even be released until late 09 as a 10 but those pics looks like it could be ready tomorrow), BMW 335i Conv, BMW M3 Coupe, Infiniti G37 conv, Infiniti G37x coupe.

AMAZINGBUMMER

I am deeply sadden by your multiple postings and I can not fathom that anybody could keep posting such blatantly ignorant comments.
I can see only a few possibilities to such postings;
1- you are between the age of 12 and 16 years old and you know absolutely nothing about cars.
2- you are playing the devil advocate and purposely post the most radical comments you can come up with in order to create flame wars and outrage.
3- you really believe in BMW superiority and in this case I am really sorry for you, because such ignorance and arrogance are beyond any comprehension.
4- you might suffer from some brain damage or genetic disorder and therefore I am, and we all will be sorry for you and forgive your constantly ridiculous comments.

I wish you well, I apologize if you had to refer to the dictionary while reading my comment, as I noticed quite often that grammar and vocabulary were not your forte.

I do respect BMW as a brand and as a product, they do seem to have lost their edge and it is clear that "accounting" and "marketing" have a lot to say in how the product is being built.
Life is about making the right compromises, and if you are knowledgeable, educated and with the means, which vehicle is going to fit those compromises is for each their own. But to pompously push your favorite brand like you do is a little to much for this site sometimes.

If it is a game to you, there is something disturbing to how you envision your social interaction with other through the internet.
Maybe therapy is something you might consider.

If you have half of an understanding of what you are doing when you post a comment and read the answers to it, you should have had your laugh a long time ago and give it a rest.

So no matter who you are, and what are your purposes, please get a life, get a grip, get a BMW, get a hobby, put please for the sake of this website, even if you are an agent in disguise, STOP, before all the real cars enthusiasts and connoisseur leave for good.

Be well.

The A5 and S5 Cabriolets are replacing the A4 and S4 Cabriolets, yes.

I can't wait until the S5 gets the supercharged V6 from the S4. It will smack the 335i all day long. Oh wait.....it ALREADY does.

Audi S5 has been clocked at 0-60 in 4.5 seconds whereas the 335i's best time is 4.7 seconds.

The photos are kinda crummy, so I'll reserve judgement until some better shots are released. But the coupe is fantastic looking, so hopefully the top looks as good or similar to the coupe. I just don't get why Audi produces so few of these and they are hard to come by. I mean, it's nice that it's exclusive in a way, but it's a mid-level audi! I rarely see them in Chicago but when I do they always look even better than pictures and the V8 sounds great too.

The "establishment" is rapidly opening room for a new member. In case you haven't noticed idiot, Audi is on the verge of reaching a sales record for the 13th straight year. The model range will increase to 40 by 2015.

Quality is soaring as witnessed by J.D. Power & Associates and profitability is going to surpass BMW by 2010.

Audi is already in the same league and in many cases better.

Why don't you understand that Audi owners are wealthier than their BMW counterparts and spend less on their cars. That is why Audi owners can afford to buy their cars up front but BMW owners like you must make monthly lease payments because you don't have $90K lying around for your 7-series.

Remember, once you are a BMW driver you are labelled right alongside the dumb blonde administrative assistants that so vividly represent the classic 3-series image.

I guess that is why their sales keep falling. Amazingdouche is a better description of all your remarks. Why do you keep posting in Audi blogs? Sounds a bit insecure on your part.

There is no denying it amazinBimmer, Audi is hot on MB's and BMW's tail. Profits are soaring, sales have increased every year for the past 13 years, quality is making incredible improvements AND Audi owners have more money than BMW owners.

C'mon you know what's coming idiot, why blind yourself from the truth.

The S5 Cabriolet looks beautiful. Love the lines, and the proportions. I am really so happy that they are sticking with the soft top.
