I speak German, that was a good review.

Overall he said they were very different cars. According to him the S5 is one of the better Audi's he's driven, even better than the RS4. The Quattro system is more geared toward confident driving and safety when compared to the Evo. Basically the car is a luxury cruiser with great performance ability which makes it the perfect daily driver.

Meanwhile he says the Evo is a pure performance machine, meant to be driven hard and fast. The AWD system is geared more toward performance than the S5. He says few cars have such a direct feel and feedback when driving at the limit and he raves about the steering. The compromise however is comfort, you better be on good terms with your wife, you can feel every bump on the Autobahn.

Wow I would actually consider buying that even though Audi makes it, other then the R8 of course.

The interior is definitely pretty hot but it seems somewhat over complicated. There are a LOT of buttons that i think might get annoying.

You think that interior is confusing, have you seen the interior of the Nissan GT-R?

Not that a complicated interior on a superhot car would turn me away from buying one if I needed another sexy car in addition to my Evo!

I like the Audi but it does not represent good value for the money... The interior is awesome but that engine is highly suspect...

only thing i can see them "stealing" from bmw is the overall shape of the dash, but this is the main reason why i never liked BMW: high price boring looking interior



PS: this is the interior of their E92 M3. Its almost 2010 and the interior still resembles the older 2001 3 series :/
