The all new audi A5/S5
It uses an all new, Next Generation chassis. The engine is no longer placed in the headlights, check out that short front overhang.
Rumours suggest the S5 will get the 4.2 V8 with 390hp. There are also rumours of a all new V6 bi-turbo being available

You know what they say about a person who uses way too many smilies in a argument dont you.
Its because they are attempting to hide the fact they are being shown up

Back to the A5: It looks pretty bland to me. As someone has already pointed out, its just another copy of other manufacturers' ideas, or rehashing one of the VAG existing models.
Come on Audi, do something innovative and creative for a change. I count your last genuine contributions to automotive technology as two in 30 years (4wd and the DSG gearbox).

A Volvo, and it has inspired millions of slipper-wearing pensioners to clog up the roads with fecking caravans.

Well for a start they don't reskin and rebadge cars then knock them out as a 'new' car. I have a real issue with that.
Whatever you think of BMWs, you can hardly knock them for not being innovative in that sense.
Oh and while we are on the subject, you are one of the least creative and individuals I have ever met... A Cut and Paste queen. ;-)

Just like the M3......it will still outgun many newer, younger upstarts who, on paper at least, have the advantage.
M5 CSL anyone......now there's a prospect! Throw caution to the wind and take a super saloon.....comfortable executive express (very) and turn it into a track monster.............remember 1970's and 80's Touring/Saloon car racing anyone ?? Rover Vitesse's, CSL 3.0's, etc, etc.
