AUDI A5/S5 (2007-CURRENT) |
|
![]() |
We Say... |
| Audi zeroes in on the 4-seater luxury coupe niche and comes up flat. The A5/S5 looks clean, but very boring. There are no odd angles, but there isn't anything interesting about it either. Interior's well finished and roomy for 4, but again, nothing to set it apart from its rivals. S5 is pricey, but offers great performance. The BMW 335i is a much better alterative. | |
