Audi A5 - Presentation at my dealer in Kristiansand

[Skaala]

fist impressions:

looks GOOD in person, even the BMW rear end. very good interior quality, as always. Rear seats are absolute useless, no legroom at all if the driver is over 170cm. Boot is big, frameless doors look very cool. Engine 3.0TDi is very powerful, and it does 0-100km/h in 5,9sec. R8-style LED's in the lights are VERY COOL! weird open area around foglights. front seats are very comfy, give good support, and the interior space in front is surprisingly good.

[Skaala]

I still don't like it :bah:

Will you get one Skaala? would be a nice addition to the A8, Q7 and RS2 :wink:

nope...I'm not looking for a new car...but!, after newyear the new CO2 taxes price this car waaaaay over what it's worth. Clocks in at around 100.000 euros bare bone...you get an S8 in Germany for that :roll:

[TopGearNL]

I can't get myself into liking this car.

I don't like the 3 series coupe either but even that looks better then this :bah:

[martin100]

I still think it looks great and is a great car overall! Thanks for your pics and first impressions.

[Schwalbe]

Thanks Skaala for this A5 Presentation. :D
I start to liked more and more the new A5 and especially the S5 model. :wink:

BTW, I'm always amazed by the price of any cars in Norway, they are just insane $$$. :shock:

[TopGearNL]

Yeah the prices are quite scary in Norway :shock:

Just looked up the S5 model again and thats a nice looking car 8)

[TopGearNL]

^^ Ah that sucks bigtime :(

[ARMAN]

I think A5 looks very nice just those leds are weird, they look maybe nice on R8 with its futuristic design but not on A5 or S6(?)

Thanx for pics Skaala ;)

[gangajas]

The 3.0 TDI is quite fast:

[TopGearNL]

It is indeed, I remember Skaala saying it was pretty good
