Audi A5 2.0T convertible caught in Florida, is it on the way?

The test facility is near clearwater.

Is it still in Tampa?

damn i use to live in ST petersburg last year too lol

why do you post negativity on every Audi article? did an Audi hurt your feelings as a child? grow up.

Find ANY article about the Lexus and you'll now. Anytime these cars are mentioned here, a pack of fanboys gathers and starts defecating by posting sneering comments about them.

Don't get sucked-in by david969.

I hope this comes to the states. i can imagine a sexy modable convertible (not saying that you couldn't mod the A4 convertible). PLEASE Audi. Please bring this to the states.

I love the 2.0T engine... I just wish the new models were mated to a 6 speed manual.

Technically speaking, this is not a test mule. The testing has ended, the production is set and alread running a pre-production series. Btw, the updated 2.0T is much better with more torque at lower rpm, although only 11hp have been added. Also, the Multitronic gearbox has been improved.

I wish audi would up its performance for the price it charges. 208 hp in that car is way to low and the car will be 50k. should have the 3.0t that the a6 has and yes i know thats going to be the s5 engine in time but then your price is 60k and your still not going to beat the 335. i got my m3 convert for cheaper then a regular s5 you tell me whats wrong with audis pricing. audi forced me to bmw so i am not a bmw fan boy but now that i have an M its going to be hard to get me out of another one

M3 Convertible base price $66,500 x S5 Coupe base price $51,875. Your math - that is what's wrong. Congratulation on the discount you got on your M3. But can you guess how much discount got the next guy?

the price of my m3 convert was 77940 to be exact and i pay 770 a month and only paid the taxes up front. audi wanted for an A5 905 and for the S5 more then a grand. either one of these cars nobody gets the base. the S5 was 59k so you tell me what you would get the M3 convert with 415 hp at 770 a month or the 354 hp S5 for 1000 a month that cant beat the 335. hmmmm thats a tough choice.

in case you didnt figure it out thats what i am saying how can a car be 17k less and be 230 more a month and you get worse performance

where it is wrong is that the more expensive car cost less every month. That cost $750 million to BMW last year. It is bad business. The more expensive car should cost more money. That's what Math and logic tell us.
I am not going to debate on the quality of each car and that kind of stuff. To each their own.
Now, is it wrong for Audi to lease their cars for more money than a BMW? I am not the one to judge or comment on business decision. But on the same token, does that make a BMW or a Lexus the car for people that can't afford an Audi? And is there anything wrong with that?

i dont know if its wrong or not or what other people can afford. i can tell you this though when bmw came back with their price i signed right away. i got the more expensive car, the better perfomer and a hard top convert. to be totally honest i wanted the s5 but i couldnt justify getting the less expensive less powerful less fun car for more money and i could have leased either one and it had nothing to do with brand i have had 2 acuras an infiniti and now bmw. Best bang for my buck gets my business its that simple could care less what badge it has.

I went to BMW and drove a $78k M3 and they gave me a $1500 payment. The guys at Audi gave me a $1200 payment on a $60k S5. I immediately signed the paperwork. I got more car for the money and it's $300 less a month. It feels, handles, and looks light years better than M3. I drove it on a rainy day. I never knew how much an engine could brake. I guess they think we are all stupid at BMW by charging $78k for a car that should be priced around $50k. I don't need a track car in the city especially with the pothole ladened roads. The S5 just gave me more refinement and alot of creature comforts that are needed in this millenium. I hope they lower there prices on the M3 to be more in line with what they have to offer. They might have sold me.
