    It seems a bit better, to me at least, than a 370Z. It's more understated, and it has a bit more European smoothness to it.

    Sexy. I like it. Looks to compete with BMW pretty well. GM will no doubt find hundreds of reasons why they can't/shouldn't build something to compete with it.

    After reading Jalop yesterday, I think I've spotted Audi's hidden market for this particular vehicle...


    Fashionable interior appointments
    Open-top Motoring
    Refined Comfort


    Generous storage volume
    Audi's renown Quattro AWD system
    Youthful styling
    Select Vehicle Dynamics System

    I'm not sure how I feel about it. The side profile feels a little Sebring to me. Also, what's the difference between this and an A4 Cabriolet?

    @Miscellanea, 1-800-CASH-4-JALOPNIK-GOLD: the A4 is based on the old one and since the coupe A4 is an A5 the new cabrio A4 should be an A5 as well.

    Umm...
    Normally when stuff is taken off...
    There is a hell of a lot of CLEAVAGE in there.
    I dont see no steeeekin cleavage.


    Also.. this is only the S version.. I take it Vanity Fair is going to give us THEIR take on the RS5?


    Cause ya know Cosmo, Vanity Fair and Elle relly have a shits say in what I really want to be seen in.


    And somehow..
    A WHITE, AUDI, A/S 5 is just the vehicle for me.
    Oh picture me and my Neiman Marcus Badged Real Estate / gay mobile crusing the main drag of Florida *turns around and projectile vomits with the mention of the aformentioned*


    I cant stand it.
    I just cant stand it.


    This damn car could make any man gay (now where is that yahoo writer from VF?...).

    @Accordforall: I have to assure you of two things: first, that the car's got nothing to do with it; and second, that absolutely horrible taste in cars is not limited to gay men in triple-white convertibles. Remember that Lexus RX from earlier? Yeah.

    Does the world need a four-wheel-drive convertible? I mean, I need one for the rap video I'm shooting in Aspen, but I also realize that gold teeth aren't for everybody.

    Looks alright, even with the convertible up. But at that price, SAAB's 9-3 'vert probably just dodged a bullet.

    In reply to 2010 Audi A5 And S5 Convertibles Drop Their Tops
    Dammit, I'm not getting any work done today. Anyway, from ePRS (patent pending):


    The new A5 Cabriolet will move you in ways you never thought a car could move you. You and three of your closest friends can cruise around with the top down and the polka blaring.


    The cars will start showing up in 2009, unlike the Camaro and other vaporware. Prices start at $47,500 for the entry level model which won't be available right away.


    The top of the line is the S5 Cabriolet. S stands for supreme sportiness, which would really be SS, but Chevy already uses that and we didn't want a legal hassle.


    The S5 will be powered by an amazingly efficient (so please, ELF, don't torch our cars) supercharged 3.0L V6 capable of 333 hp for half-demonic power.


    The roofless A5 also has a lightweight fabric top meaning you will freeze your ass off in the winter and can only hold conversations while still in the garage. The top opens in 15 seconds, or 3 seconds if you are going 80 mph. An optional insulated top will be offered in Texas.


    With the top stowed, there is still room for 2 dead hookers (wet). Two more dead hookers can be stored when the back seat is folded down


    We will offer seat belt extenders and a coating on the leather so fat Bavarians don't burn their fat asses.


    The A5 will have three gasoline and two diesel engine choices, ensuring nearly as many variants as the Mustang. Power will range from 180 hp to 265 hp. All five have direct injection and four of them have turbochargers. There are three transmissions available, but the manual and S-tronic are really only worth considering.


    Power can be supplied to the front wheels or all four wheels with the quattro system. Either way, you will need stimulation while driving.


    In order to keep up with Nissan, we will provide three seperate performance programs and one programmable performance program with the fuel map, shift points, and steering performance. Hackers can also access the shock absorber control.


    Like everyone else we have a stereo.


    This car will only be sold in Germany. Sorry America.

    @engineerd: The part I find amusing in your text is that they will have extended seat belts for Bavarians but you finish of saying "Sorry America".


    I don't know what type of seat belts the Americans will(would) need!

    @Ileee: Having been to Bavaria, they could just as easily bring that technology here. They may have to extend the seat belts slightly, though.
