Mook Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Look, I've just found another one from the same, well known and respected publication. An Audi test driver was spotted in a well disguised RS5 Cabrio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 BTW, I found that A5 pic whilst looking for spyshots of your S4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hey Cupra, are you seriously thinking of getting an A5 cab, assuming they do come out?, if so what spec would you go for based on the current A5 engine line up? I am very tempted, but probably not until early 2009, hopefully the S5 cab will be out by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yeah, mine will be 2 1/2 years old by next summer and I'm not shelling out over a grand to keep the warranty for another year. I'll be really loathed to change it though as I've become very attached to the old girl which is bizarre for me as my cars usually last about 9 months before I get bored with them. Engine wise I'd love another 3.2 but pricing and emissions seem to be against me (not that its a company vehicle). If it comes below the 225g limit for band F then maybe but I also get the feeling I'll need to spend £40k to get the spec I want and am planning on moving house after Xmas so I have a hunch I may not be able to do both... I dont understand why they haven't released the 2.0T in the A5 as that would do me fine to be honest. Are you thinking S5 Cab then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 To be honest I am only thinking about it at the moment, I moved house last year, I get married next year and I am thinking of possibly changing mine in early 2009 before the warranty runs out. I have been really pleased with my 3.2, visually apart from the exhausts it looks identical to an S4 cab anyway so I could go down the 3.2 route again. It is a really nice engine but I am just about to start a new job with double the car allowance I am on now so an S5 would be tempting especially as I am only doing around 12k miles a year now. Compared to nearly 30k in my old 2.4 cab. Plenty of time yet to make a decision and like you I am really enjoying my current cab , but I love planning ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyliss Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Over a grand for the renewal of an Audi warranty.... Mine is up in March next year, do you think it will be around the 1K mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupramax Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 No, mines so much as its a 3.2, below 3 litres the warranty is cheaper, well, under a grand i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 It is a real problem now for warranties, the S4/S5/RS warranty is now just under £1600 a year for cars with under 60k miles and £2600 for cars with over 60k miles. That means it costs an extra £133 a month for sub 60k mile cars or £217 a month extra for cars with over 60k on the clock. And I think that is one of the reasons you can get a 3 year old S4 etc. so cheaply now, when it was £600 it was acceptable, but to add £217 a month to an 04 car is silly, you may as well just buy an early 07 car and keep it for 2 years, works out around the same each month and you get all the benefits of having a newer car too. Same with BMW M cars too, now £1050 for an M car with sub 60k miles and £1800 for cars which have gone over that mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Just had an email from the sales manager at my local dealer to say that he attended an internal launch event for the new A5 cabriolet back in May this year !. In his words he said it looked stunning This means that it will definitely be launched for next year, however he couldn't confirm a launch date for the S5 cabriolet.

Chav Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 i was told by audi the other day end of 2008 - but maybe they are being cautious. no-one would release a cab in the winter, right? so its gonna be pretty soon or the year after. i'd expect pretty soon...
