Saw a new Audi A4 on the road!

Did anyone ever hear the story how Audi were offered the halo lights first, the ones that BMW now use. The belief was that Audi would most likely take them because of the look of four rings but they turned them down. Audi's lose was BMW's gain.

Agreed, it one point where I don't actually like my S5. It's only saving grace is the alloy bit in the middle and the quad pipes.

i'm thinking the rims aren't helping it any... a nice set of 18"s would probably do it. i think the lines on the S5 are love it or ehh. i happen to like it, an S5 went by me yesterday... sounded and looked great.

Agreed. The quads and aluminum accent are practically necessary for both of these cars' rears.
