Essentially, this A-Series Audi has almost all the options of an S-5. Check out excerpts from a great article on the 2009 A5 from Left Lane News: 
    Any breakthroughs?
    The A5 is the first Audi to utilize the all-new MLP (Modular Longitudinal Platform) chassis architecture. The main advantage to this new setup is allowing a longitudinally mounted engine and transmission to be set farther back behind the front axle. This allows for a more even weight distribution, which results in better handling. This chassis also allows for flexible wheelbase lengths and will underpin the new A4, A6, A7, A8 and Q5.

    Audi Drive Select, an adaptive steering, suspension and throttle mapping system, is now available on the A5. For instance, hit "comfort"? and the steering weight is very light and easy to move; the suspension is at its softest; and the throttle eases into your acceleration inputs. Press "dynamic"? and it's entirely opposite. Firmer weighted steering for more precise maneuvers, stiffer suspension for better handling and aggressive throttle tip in. 

    There is also an "auto"? button that will let the computer decide for you, but unless your grandma is in the car, pressing "dynamic"? should be the second button you hit after the engine start button. You can also use the custom button to set up the various systems individually.

    How does it look?
    The A5 is beautiful, it's true. If you see its face in crowed place, you'll know right away - mostly because a pair of LED daytime running lights will be staring back at you. These two strips of LEDs make for a look unlike anything else currently on the road. They add a menacing look to a front end that's already sneering. To hell with BMW's "angel eyes;"? Audi's "angry brows"? are king.

    The LEDs are the reason most people stare slack-jawed at the A5 in the first place. From the lights, their eyes follow the perfectly sculpted lines all the way to the rear of the body. It's at that point that they realize they are looking at one of the most unique, alluring new cars on the road.

    A lot could be written about the A5's near flawless design, but the photos can also do a lot of talking. A warning, however. Some of the A5's beauty manages to escape the lens of most cameras. There have been countless cars in the past that need to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. The A5 is one of them as it holds back that last bit of "wow factor"? until you're standing next to one in the showroom reaching for your checkbook.

    And inside?
    You may grow tired of automotive journalists using lines like "typical Audi interior with high quality material, fit and finish."? Well, what can I say? There isn't really a better way to say it. Audi is very good at making interiors with great materials that look, fit and feel great.

    Inside there are grays and blacks offset by handsome aluminum accents. The design of the dash and center stack is simple and elegant. One need not be intimidated by Audi's MMI interface. Given a bad rap by BMW's iDrive system, Audi's controls are really quite easy to pick up. For the most part, a day or so of using MMI should be all the lesson time you need.

    While the inside of the A5 is quite a nice place to be, it's not without faults. If you opt for the S-Line package (I'll explain why this is a must shortly) you get seating surfaces covered in alcantara. That's fine -- only, it's perforated alcantara. It seems to cheapen the look a little, though to be fair, you'll be sitting on it.

    Another problem with the seats is the side bolstering. The bolsters are pretty sizable, but when you have a car capable of these kinds of cornering speeds, they need to be bigger.

    Finally, it's worth mentioning the back seats. There are definitely two seats in back, but if you happen to have legs, sitting in them might pose a challenge.

    But does it go?
    Many of the A5's initial critics said that the car doesn't corner very well. They say it's more of a highway cruiser than a sports car. After spending some time in the A5, I started to wonder if everyone was stupid but me. This A5 didn't go around corners; it carved corners like Bode Miller, only, without the booze and lackadaisical approach. Want to take that corner posted 35 mph at 55 mph? Simple. It'll rotate through that corner, hold the line with ease and then dare you to do it faster. Your courage will break before the grip does.

    The reason my experience was so different from the others was the suspension. My car had the S-line package, which includes, among other things, a sportier suspension and 19-inch wheels with Dunlop summer performance tires. The S-Line package is a game-changer for Audi's seductive coupe. It's optional, sure, but it should be standard equipment for any enthusiast. Add the Drive Select on the test car and your handling will improve even more.

    Speed-wise, as we've already said, it's not the fastest car out there. Though to call it slow would be asinine as the A5 still manages a 5.8 second 0-60 time with the 265-horsepower, 3.2 liter V6 mated to a six-speed manual transmission Drop the hammer and you will accelerate with authority. Even with the high-revving V6, the A5 returned a 23 mpg average by the end of the week.

    The six-speed, cog-swapper falls under the "pretty good"? category. Somewhere in there, there is a notch, or some anomaly, that feels like third gear, but when you go there, it ain't third. Overall, shifts are fairly smooth and the throws are a moderate length. 

    Why you would buy it:
    The A5 gives you a little of everything. It's a devastatingly beautiful car, is quick and handles very well when equipped properly. Even better, the fuel economy isn't typical "sports car" horrible.

    Why you wouldn't:
    You crave the power of a V8, or BMW's twin-turbo inline six, and aren't willing to compromise.

Adam Carolla is world's the least helpful test drive co-pilot

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

If you were going to test drive a new car, who would you want to take with you? Your spouse? A friend? Maybe an automotive journalist? Well take it from us: there's one of us riding shotgun just about every time we go to drive anything, and we're not all we're cracked up to be.
How about a celebrity comedian? Well, that largely depends on which comedian we're talking about here. Some - say, Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno, for example - might be more helpful than others, being more or less schooled in the finer points of the modern automobile. Adam Carolla might seem like he belongs on that list too, but in this latest video for a friends at Edmunds.com, the one-time host of The Car Show on Speed TV seems bent on being as comedically intrusive as possible. Which may be funny, but helpful? Not so much. See what we mean in the video below, and the next time you go to test drive a new car, you just might find the world's most popular podcast host climbing in with you.

Audi, Porsche ensnared in new Volkswagen cheating allegations

Mon, Nov 2 2015

The scope of the Volkswagen emissions cheating scandal that has enveloped the global automaker for the past six weeks widened Monday. Now, some of the automaker's premium brands are further ensnared in the mess. Officials with the Environmental Protection Agency issued a second notice of violations Monday, accusing Volkswagen of violating the Clean Air Act by using defeat devices that circumvent emissions testing on diesel versions of certain vehicles equipped with 3.0-liter engines. Roughly 10,000 vehicles in the United States contain the illegal software, the EPA alleges. That's a far smaller number than the 482,000 vehicles affected by the first instances of cheating, which Volkswagen confessed to in September. But this latest violation alleges the cheating occurred broadly through the Volkswagen empire and includes vehicles from the Porsche and Audi brands. Audi had one model, the A3, involved in the first round of announced violations. But the brand, which has enjoyed skyrocketing sales in the US in recent years, is more extensively involved in violations announced Monday. The 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5 are among the cars which contain the illegal software, which permits the cars to emit nitrogen oxide at up to nine times the allowable thresholds set in the Clean Air Act, according to the EPA. The 2015 Porsche Cayenne and '14 Volkswagen Toureg SUV are also affected. "There is clear evidence of additional violations and it's important to put Volkswagen on notice and to inform the public." - Janet McCabe. "Audi, which has been on a roll in terms of sales, reputation and image of late, now is being drawn deeper into the quagmire," said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst for Autotrader. "Previously, only the low-volume A3 was under scrutiny, but now Audi's core models are under fire." Audi officials did not respond to a request for comment Monday. In a written statement issued late Monday afternoon, a Porsche spokesperson said, "We are surprised to learn this information. Until this notice, all our information was that the Porsche Cayenne Diesel is fully compliant." Porsche said it would cooperate with authorities.

How does a 600-HP Audi RS6 Avant Plus sound to you?

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

The 2013 Audi RS6 Avant was announced back in December with a twin-turbo V8 cranking out 560 horsepower, but Car is reporting that this badass grocery getter could get even more power with a new Plus model. In a conversation with Car, Stephan Reil, Audi's top guy at its Quattro GmbH division, told the magazine that the RS6 Avant Plus would produce around 600 horsepower, and it sounds like there is a growing family of RS Plus models being planned as well.
Aside from the more powerful engine, the specifics of the RS6 Avant Plus are unknown, but we'd suspect some weight-savings measures and updated features for improved handling. Like recent RS Plus models such as the TT RS Plus and R8 Plus, the RS6 Avant Plus will not be a limited-production unit when it goes on sale (most likely for the 2014 model year).
