I'm a Lexus guy, but I follow all the new concepts. On Wednesday night, 10pm,I saw what I now know to be an A5 on 275 in Downtown Tampa. The rear is Aston Martin wide. An absolutely stunning car. It had Michigan Maufacturer tags. I know I suck no pictures.

The headlights appeared to have a row of LED's running along the bottom and side (you can almost see them in the photos on edmunds NY auto show pics) that looked very sharp in the rear view mirror.

I think it had a two tone paint - but it may have been the lighting (or lack thereof)

Real nice car.

They are probably testing them. There was a bunch of R8's in the winter testing in ohio. They were beating the hell outta them. Salty as hell when i saw them. I dont even think they are for sale yet.

I wouldn't be surprised. I was talking to Jeff, the service manager at Reeves Audi--apparently that dealership has alot of pull--as evidenced by the fact that they had 2 RS 4's on hand at one time, and the 'R8 party' that they had a couple of weeks ago. When I get back, I'll ask him if they have one, or if they were just 'borrowing' it for a while.

[sm=yikesomg.gif] Ask them about the new TT!

I've already seen them--they have a hardtop manual and an auto convertible. Honestly, I prefer my A4- same engine 2x the space. A little less sporty/sexy maybe, but def more practical. But one thing I did like is those new seats! Not the fugly baseball ones, but the new composite leather ones. Theyre sweeet!

Are you saying the A5 comes in a convertible model? This is not ture (yet).

are u sure u didnt see an R8 or TT

There is an s5 parked in the audi HQ where i live...anybody want me to take pics?

heyal yeah!

ok. every once in a while I go there to see what they have. They always have new TTs, sweet s4s, rs6, rs4 (maybe), s5 (terrible color) and I see R8s driving alot. I saw 3 at once! :)

Ill post back in a few days to see what I can get.

I saw the S5 in NYC this weekend, along with an S6, RS4, and S8 in a showroom near Park Ave. Gorgeous car - really amazing lines. I'd love to swing one, but it's out of the cards...for now:)
