mark88 Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Not sure why mark88 hates the A5/S5 so much. I think that looks great. [/ QUOTE ] eh, When did I say I hated it? I merely said that 'photoshop' of the A5 cab looks like a barge. And well, it kinda does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Yes it was obviously a photochop, I was just curious to see what it would look like without the roof, if you look at the side profile of a B6 or B7 cab the profile is actually more or less identical. The lines are very clean and the position of the windscreen in proportion to the rest of the car does make it look slightly elongated. Having said that photos have never really done the cab any justice, you have to see it in the flesh to appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark88 Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 After thinking about it again, I guess we're looking at £40-45k for a S5? without options. Tad more BHP than the S4, and faster to 60 but looks like a lot more car on the interior especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irnbrukid Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 It is growing on me but will have to see it in the flesh first. Lots of info on this link http://www.tt-forum.co.uk/ttforumbbs/viewtopic.php?t=81988 With the performance figures it has it must be a bit lighter which is a good thing. March 6th you will be able to spec the car first cars to arrive in june. So the A4 may arrive in November after all which i mentioned in another thread a while back A5 = June A4 = November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] It's going to be 4.63m long. [/ QUOTE ] It's shorter than a Mondeo saloon which I find kinda interesting. Almost a foot shorter than then A6 as well. A lot longer wheel base than an A4 with a shorter front overhang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
